	Hi.  I know very little about programming, having done some 
BASIC and SP/K many years ago.  I was considering trying to learn some C 
and/or C++ by buying one of the many books available on the subject, but 
I realized that this would be somewhat useless without having the 
language available on my computer.  I just learned about djgpp and I am 
wondering.... well, is this what I need?  My knowledge is sufficiently 
basic that I'm not too clear on what a compiler is (for example).  If I 
download djgpp and struggle through the manual and pick up a book on 
C/C++, will I be able to do some programming in these languages?  Sorry 
if my question isn't too clear, and thanks in advance for any 
suggestions.

Mike
