From the DOS command line type the following words of wisdom:

	go32

and hit [Enter].  This will print the version of DJGPP DOS extender.  Ports
of GNU software (like gcc etc.) each have their own version, which usually
(but not always) can be seen by invoking that program with the --version
flag.

On any SimTel mirror (e.g., ftp.coast.net) in the /SimTel/vendors/djgpp
directory.

Did you read the relevant portions of the DJGPP FAQ list (available as faq102.zip
from the same place you get DJGPP)?  Chapter 18 describes some aspects of
handling hardware interrupts under DJGPP.
