Yes. In fact, it's easy.

DJGPP is a freeware, 32-bit MS-DOS port of the GNU C/C++ compiler and
tools. It runs in native DOS, Windows 3.1/95/NT, OS/2, Linux, Caldera
OpenDOS... in short, every known PC operating system. Full information
on DJGPP can be found at <http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/>.
To get started quickly, point your ftp software to the following URL:
<ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/>
Download the file 'v2/readme.1st'. Read it. :) It will tell you the
steps you need to take to download and install DJGPP. In order to get a
full Unix shell, you will want to get the following packages:
v2/djdev201.zip (development environment)
v2gnu/bsh1147b.zip (GNU bash shell)
v2gnu/bnu27b.zip (GNU Binutils)
v2gnu/gcc2721b.zip (gcc compiler)
v2gnu/gpp2721b.zip (g++ compiler)
v2gnu/lgp271b.zip (C++ libraries)
Additional, recommended packages:
v2/faq210b.zip (FAQ list)
v2gnu/gdb416b.zip (GNU debugger)
v2gnu/mak375b.zip (GNU Make)
v2gnu/txi390b.zip (Info documentation browser)
v2apps/rhide11b.zip (IDE for DJGPP)
If you want to develop native Windows 95/NT apps, you'll want to get:
v2tk/rsxntdj1.zip (RSXNTDJ)
If you want your programs to be distributable, you'll need:
v2misc/csdpmi3b.zip (CWSDPMI DPMI host)
For any problems or questions, consult the FAQ, or ask on this
newsgroup. :)
