On the contrary, DJGPP is 100% ANSI C compatible. Its ANSI C++ support
is not perfect, but is being updated constantly. If you have something
that you know is ANSI C that does not compile under DJGPP, we'd very
much like to see it.
However, assembly language is by definition non-ANSI. So are hardware
interfaces, graphics, and just about every other form of
machine-specific code. So your best bet would be to download the DJGPP
Frequently Asked Questions list (v2/faq210b.zip or online at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/) and read through chapters 17 and 18
which tell you what you need do to get that 16-bit code converted to
32-bit flat model protected mode.
There are C and C++ tutorials available on the Internet, though I don't
know any specific URLs. However, this topic has been brought up several
times in the past few weeks; a DejaNews search of this newsgroup or a
search of the mailing list archives at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/mail-archives/ should turn up quite a few
possibilities.
hth!
