Programs are programs; the difference is in the tools you use to compile them. ANSI-compliant code should compile and run with DJGPP just like it would with Borland or any other program. However, if you use Borland-specific extensions, then they likely won't work the same way in DJGPP. The same goes for any real-mode trick such as direct hardware access, interrupt handling, and the like. There is an excellent document available that explains most of the features of DJGPP and the most common difficulties encountered when porting code to it from other compilers. It is the Frequently Asked Questions list, and is available from SimTel as v2/faq210b.zip or online at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/. hth P.S.: It's extremely impolite to hide your email address if you want people to be able to reply to you. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
