I am porting a Unix (Linux) application to DOS so I can run it under a DOS shell under Windows 3.11. Have I chosen the easiest path for porting by using Turbo C++ 3.0, or am I better off with another compiler? 1) Does gcc for dos exist? Does the package come with the appropriate suite of unix like utilities? 2) Can I run DJGPP programs under a Win3.1 shell? How bout a Win95 or a WinNT shell? 3) Would Windows compilers like MSVC or Borland C++ for windows ease my porting pains? (Mostly getting a shareware tiff library written with ANSI C working). I suspect getting GCC would be the best way to go, but I was hoping for some input from some more experienced folk. Allen Pouratian UC Berkeley
