DJGPP is a port of GCC and other GNU utilities to MS-DOS.  The ported GCC 
generates 32-bit protected-mode code and produces programs that can be 
run under DOS with a DPMI server.  DJGPP comes with a free DPMI server 
for those that don't have a commercial one (like Windows, QDPMI, 386Max 
etc.).  DJGPP currently doesn't support Windows programming, but the 
programs can run in DOS box, and under Win95 they support long filenames.

DJGPP can be found on many mirrors, e.g. 
ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/vendors/djgpp.  Begin by downloading the file 
v2/readme.1st and reading it.
