I'm under the impression that djgpp is a gcc compiler for DOS,
correct?
Assuming I am, gcc is suppost to be a cross-platform compiler, and the
coding for gcc applications isn't suppost to use any hardware-specific
instructions, correct?
If I am correct so far, wouldn't that mean that gcc applications
written for Unix systems could be compiled under DOS using djgpp? 
If so, what is the extent?  Could I compile X Windows under DOS, for
instance?  I am not a programmer, or a techie, so I know I'm kind of
ignorant about all of this, but if anyone could help me out on
cross-compatibility between gcc applications under Unix being compiled
under djgpp for DOS, please let me know..
(Email if possible, thanks!)
