I'm a little fuzzy on the whole DJGPP/C++/Legality issue here.  I read
the faq, and it says that I can use libiostream.a and my program can
still be a commercial program, correct?  I cannot, however, create
commercial programs use libgpp.a, correct?

What about my own classes?  Am I allowed to write my own classes in a
commercial program?

Here's the deal:  I like to write in C++.  I've written quite a few
classes (graphics, 3d, etc) and I also use cout and cin and fstream (all
in libiostream.a, right?).  If I write a program using all of the above
classes, can it be commercial?

Jeff

PS: I've written all my stuff freely with source code available so far,
so don't think I'm ungrateful to GNU or anything like that.  I'm
more-or-less just curious.
