I saw an error like that.  A C++ book I have came with a version of Borland
Turbo C++.  It created .exe files that would only run from inside the Turbo C++
IDE.

I think that you are going in the right direction by getting djgpp, since you
can compile your code into .exe files that can run on their own.  There are
some differences between the compilers, though.  The first one I came across is
that in djgpp, printf is line buffered.
