I mean, I know that it's "a complete 32-bit C/C++ development system for Intel 80386 (and higher) PCs running DOS" and all, but does that mean that's it's a program or what exactly? When I compile a source file, I use the GNU compiler, right? So where does DJGPP come into play? Couldn't I just have downloaded gcc from the GNU website and used that to compile my source? Maybe I'm just not seeing it. Hmmmm.... mesh
