I'm going to try some examples, if I can, of this.

This I don't understand.

So I assume from the above that the DJGPP C++ can be used as an alternative
to Watcom or Microsoft Visual C++.

I just got through downloading the "C++Annotations Version 4.4.0b" by Frank
B. Brokken.
I got both the text and the html versions.
This seems to be a good introduction to C++. Also, the entire Groningen ftp
site is quite a find.
Thanks very much. I only read the intro and scanned the 17 chapters, but it
appears there are a number of examples of C versus C++ code--and that's
what I'm looking for.
I appreciate the remarks and particularly this ftp site.
Regards,
Ralph
