This newsgroup is specifically for discussions about DJGPP, which is a
freeware port to MS-DOS of the GNU C/C++ compiler for Unix. It runs in
protected mode, but uses a substantially different interface than DOS4G,
and the two compilers (Watcom and DJGPP) are completely incompatible.
Because of this, we cannot give any specific support regarding
DOS4G/Watcom. To tell the truth, Watcom is a substantially inferior
compiler to DJGPP in many many respects, not the least of which is
price. :) But DJGPP does not yet offer native Windows 95/NT or TCP/IP
support; it is a DOS-based compiler. If you'd like to learn more about
it, you can visit http://www.delorie.com/djgpp and have a look around.
Good luck!
