I have been browsing your web site this morning, reading about djgpp. Specifically, I need a DOS compiler to re-compile a program originally written in Microsoft's Visual C++ ver 1.5. The reason for this, is that Microsoft's compiler is not Y2K certified (in fact, there are some errors that we have seen, but they are not too serious in my opinion.) At any rate, management wants to be able to stamp "Y2K certified" on everything, so after upgrading the bios on our machines, we need a compliant compiler. Microsoft is testing their compiler, but after speaking with a Microsoft rep, I can't say that I have faith in it being concluded any time in the near future. So that's how I ended up here, toying with the possibility of using your compiler. Browsing through the web site, though, I did not notice any direct reference to the Y2K issue. If it is, in fact, compliant, then I'll be interested in buying the book/CD set - but I need to know if this is worth my time. If the compiler is compliant, then my next question would be if this compiler supports the same array of included libraries as MSVC++. Once again, I didn't see offhand what I was looking for - a list of libraries provided with the software. If possible, could you direct me to this information? My third and final question, is whether or not you are aware of anyone who has had experience porting code from MSVC++ to your compiler. Any tips or information from someone who has tried this before would be extremely helpful. Thank your for taking the time to read this. -Will Meadows
