Hi,

I'm looking for anyone or everyone to tell me about the policies for
distributing code compiled with DJGPP.  I'm writing games which I would
like to run with 32-bit code, but I'm not sure of the best avenue to follow.
I've been trying to decide on two choices, Watcom-C32 w/ DOS extender, or
DJGPP w/DOS extender.  If I use DJGPP, and the standard ANSI functions that 
are linked in from DJGPP's libraries, what am I legally required to 
distribute along with my product?  I want to make a first run with
shareware, and a second run commercially.  If I am going to run into a
headache down the road, could someone save the the hassle and tell me
now.  If I'm going to run into legal obligations, I'll go with the 
commercial compiler.

Thanks in advance for your help,
