DJGPP is a freeware 32-bit C/C++ development environment for MS-DOS.  It
is based on a port of the GNU C/C++ compiler and tools.  The main home
page for DJGPP is http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/.  Go there to learn all
about DJGPP and how to obtain it.  Specifically, there are many pages of
online documentation at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/, the online
FAQ at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/, and an automated Zip-Picker
that tells you what files to download at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html.

DJGPP is a fast, easy compiler to use, but it really helps to read the
documentation!  Be sure to ask here if there's anything you don't
understand.
