What are you trying to do, specifically? The core of DJGPP, and any ANSI or POSIX library functions are available in the standard gcc included in all Linux distros. The non-portable functions are just that, and are conveniences for dealing with the native DOS bios calls in most part. If you have some app in mind that is using conio, or similar functions, you may be able to get it running under dosemu. I would doubt Allegro or similar packages will fly on Linux. Anything I've ported from DOS to Linux has been ANSI compliant, or has used interfaces such as Slang that were ported to DOS in the first place, and are at home on *nix. I would suggest if you are not trying to port a favorite app from DOS to Linux that learning to use the native Linux tools will be more productive. -- Bear Technology Making Montana safe for Grizzlies http://people.montana.com/~bowman/
