DJGPP may not be the optimal tool for the task, then, depending on what you want to do with it. The usual choice on OS/2 is another GCC port, called 'emx'. You'll find in on any sensible OS/2 software collection, including the well-known 'Hobbes' service. The question that decides between the two is whether you want to be able to use OS/2 applications, too. DJGPP only builds DOS programs, whereas EMX can build both OS/2 apps, too. As to your request for basic instruction on using the compiler: see the file 'README.1st' that should have come with the download. And of course consult the link to the user guide given by DJ in his reply, too. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
