If you mean "is there a single GUI toolkit that runs on djgpp, win32, and Linux" then yes, there are a few, but you'll have to look around for one that you're comfortable with and that meets your needs. > 5) My Server-Apps are running at the prompt/console but for my Client-Apps > I like to use graphical GUI's and not text GUI's. You may want to use Cygwin instead of DJGPP (http://www.cygwin.com/) If you're interested in networking *and* Windows guis. Cygwin handles the native Win32 APIs much better than DJGPP does. Otherwise, there are networking (libsocket or wattcp) and GUI (allegro) libraries for DJGPP. > 6) If I use Watt-32 under Dos, ist there an equivalent under Linux ? "gcc" is the Linux compiler.
