As long as you write ANSI C programs, there is no difference.  In the
C++ field, there is some difference as to what features of the (fastly
evolving) draft ANSI standard are implemented; this is like shooting
a moving target for the compilers' writers.

If you are like reading a lot, get the files gcc263dc.zip (the C/C++
compiler docs, includes description of GNU C/C++ extensions),
lgp263dc.zip (docs for the C++ classes and iostream libraries) and
read them.  You will have to also get txi310bn.zip and txi310dc.zip
which contain the stand-alone browser called ``Info'' with which you
can read the hypertext docs in the aboove .zip files.

As a first approximation, just forget about memory hassles :-)
DJGPP has many functions modeled on the outside after Turbo C,
so I think you will feel rather at home.
