If you don't use TeX (which allows you to print your own very pretty
docs from the sources, and Cygnus Support is making excellent document
source for TeX available for Free.  See the DJGPP directories.) you can
buy the GNU documentation from the FSF.
for $50 US they will sell you the libc reference.
for $50 US they will sell you the gcc reference.
for $25 US they will sell you the Bison reference.
for $30 US they will sell you the FLEX refernce.
etc. etc. etc....

go to GNU (the Free Software Foundation):

or, alternately buy some of the excellent books from O'Reilly at:

	http://www.ora.com/

you can also use Linux docs like Linux Systems Labs "Linux MAN", which
contains the man pages (sometimes less than lucid!) for many of the
DJGPP functions (which are, after all, the UNIX functions!).

of course you should also try using info or RHIDE to just browse the
volumes of e-stuff that come with the DJGPP dist.

(I highly recommend TeX (EmTeX), but it seems more people have trouble
installing it than have trouble installing DJGPP! I have ALWAYS found
that if I read the readmes and the FAQ's I can do the installs nearly
painlessly! (ok, ok, so i can't figure out how to get RSXIDE to work.)
