I went to http://www.zdu.com and looked up the intro to C++ course;
there is a FAQ on compliers, and some test programs to see if the
compiler supports the stuff the course will need. Both of the test
programs compiled and ran without modifications under DJGPP, so it
should be OK, if the programs you write are as straightforward as the
tests.

A caveat, though: With GCC, you have to specify "-fhandle-exceptions"
when you're compiling programs that use exceptions.
