(Protected Mode) This newsgroup is specifically for discussions about DJGPP, which is a freeware port to MS-DOS of the GNU C/C++ compiler for Unix. It runs in protected mode, but uses a substantially different interface than DOS4G, and the two compilers (Watcom and DJGPP) are completely incompatible. Because of this, we cannot give any specific support regarding DOS4G/Watcom. To tell the truth, Watcom is a substantially inferior compiler to DJGPP in many many respects, not the least of which is price. :) But DJGPP does not yet offer native Windows 95/NT or TCP/IP support; it is a DOS-based compiler. If you'd like to learn more about it, you can visit http://www.delorie.com/djgpp and have a look around. Good luck! -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
