...but I'm having a difficult time figuring out what exactly DJGPP is.  I
mean, I know that it's "a complete 32-bit C/C++ development system for Intel
80386 (and higher) PCs running DOS" and all, but does that mean that's it's
a program or what exactly?  When I compile a source file, I use the GNU
compiler, right?  So where does DJGPP come into play?  Couldn't I just have
downloaded gcc from the GNU website and used that to compile my source?
Maybe I'm just not seeing it.  Hmmmm....
