No you won't.  You will get redirected, or tersely told that the
query is off-topic.  The idiots who insist that anything remotely
connected with C is topical will be flamed and plonked.

Since DJGPP is not the most popular C implementation in the world,
and is basically limited to command line usage instead of foolish
guis, it will be advantageous for you to find out what is and is
not portable.  These things will be pointed out in c.l.c.
