No, DJGPP's C++ is quite standard. Do watch out for source that is specific
for some other compiler, though (there seems to be a lot of Visual C++
source floating around...)

It's awfully hard to learn any langauge without a compiler, and I'm not
going to suggest that you *buy* another one, heaven forbid. Get yourself a
good C++ book (anything containing the words "Dummies", "Idiots", or "N
days" does not qualify, nor does one for any specific compiler), and go for it!
