To the best of my knowledge, there is no protected inheritance in C++.
If there were (if there is), then I assume it would work the same as
protected members:  only derived classes would be aware of the
inheritance and able to access the members of the protected base class.
Obviously this would be different.

Since there is, as yet, no ansi standard for C++, the question about
djgpp's conformance is meaningless.  Unless you're asking about
conformance with the C standard.  :)

Questions about the current draft of the standard really belong in
comp.std.c++ (although it might help to read a few posts there, and
check out the faq and web pages first).  Questions about C and C++ as
implemented in gcc should be asked in gnu.gcc or gnu.g++.
