   Please don't flame me for wasting bandwidth, but i just ran across
   this group...

We try REALLY hard not to flame anyone, we don't always succeed is all...


   here's the amazingly dumb question:

   what is djgpp??

DJGPP is a port of GNU C and C++ to the Intel [345]86 32bit environment hosted
under MSDOS.  It is a 32bit application and generates 32bit protected mode
code.  The current version (1.12m4) provides a free 32bit DOS extender, version
2.0 (in late beta now) will be DPMI complient and will provide a free DPMI
server instead.  The compilers provide a 32bit flat model, virtual memory,
programming environment for porting UNIX, etc, code and for writing new code.
The DJGPP project was begun, and is primarily maintained by, DJ Delorie [hence
the name: (DJ)'s (G)NU C & C (P)lus (P)lus, or something like that].
