Sorry if I get this wrong. Send me a personal email so I get it right next time. The GCC compiler used withing the DJGPP framework can vary. In general the last stable and most widely used version is GCC 2.9.5.3, but the lastes official GCC version is 3.1 which has only recently been released for the DJGPP framework. The GCC 3.X series has not been given the same workout as the 2.9.5.3 release and as such the new features and undocumented features are still being worked out, but it is the way of the future. The DJGPP packages are 32 bit DPMI (Dos Protected Mode Interface) programs and as such can run on DOS, Win 9x, NT 4.0, W2K and XP and DOSEMU under Linux. There are some cavets with these, especially NT 4.0. MinGW and Cygwin are GCC ports that work only on a Win 32 environment and only produce WIn 32 executables. Andrew
