I have never seen such a thing, so it doesn't look likely.  BTW you may
encounter problems using DJGPP with an SX (okay you CAN use the fpu
emulator, but it will still cause things to be slow and not always work
reliably).  Don't feel bad, I just switched myself a year and a bit ago
(and I was programming in BASIC for a LONG time (and I mean I started with
Commodore Basic 7 on a C128)).

Online docs are tricky to find at best.  I personally reccomend buying a
book called "Master C++" or even "Master C" by the Waite Group.  It is how
I started and it is a fairly good tutorial.

Write me if you like, I need the correspondence :)
