The DJGPP FAQ list has a pointer to some sample code that shows how to do that. > 2) Will I be able to write in the djgpp environment as I would in MSVC++ = > 6.0 standard edition? Please tell more details. ``MSVC++ 6.0 standard edition'' doesn't tell anything to me, since I don't use it. What features of the development environment and of the runtime do you need to be supported? > 3) Or even, copy it from the MSVC, paste it into djgpp and run, compile, = > link as normal? DJGPP has a command-line compiler, so you can use MSVC as your editor and then run the compiler from the command prompt in another window.
