I'm writing a game that I hope I will get around to publishing provided 
my computer keeps functioning.  I have encountered a point where I have 
to throw out real mode, or so it seems...  I have a 486sx33 with 2 meg of 
ram, and I want to know the following:

1) Can DJGPP be forced to compile in 2 meg of ram (under normal DOS)?

2)If I port my code and compile it under DJGPP, are there any legal strings 
  attatched in terms of distributing the program as a comercial game or
  as shareware?
 
3)How does it's compiled code compare speed-wise to Borland C 4.5's 
  compiled code?

4)Are there any serious obsicles to writing to video memory directly like 
  I can do in real mode?

Please reply by E-mail to avoid cluttering up discussion with my Newby 
question more than needed... Thank you very much...
