Tech advantages? TC? Those two words don't belong in the same
sentence together. :-P TC is one of the lamest compilers I've ever
seen.
OTOH, DJGPP is one of the most comprehensive C/C++ compilers in
existence. It is highly Unix-oriented, though, so you'll have to get used
to...
well, not exactly a new style of programming, but a LOT of differences.
I recommend that you download the Frequently Asked Questions list
(faq200b.zip) from the same place you got DJGPP and peruse the
first several sections _thoroughly_. Most of your "newbie" questions
should be answered by that, as well as most of the other problemsfaced by
programmers moving from 16-bit real mode to 32-bit
protected mode.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask here. You've taken
a major step upwards in terms of power. :)
