Getting into DJGPP is really easy... write a C or C++ program, save it,
and compile it.

The file 'readme.1st' which comes with DJGPP provides quick instructions
on installation and setup of DJGPP.  There is an online user's guide at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/ug/.  It's not complete, but it should
serve to get you started.  The DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions list
(v2/faq210b.zip or online at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/) is an
indispensable reference if you have any problems or questions.  When in
doubt, READ THE FAQ FIRST.

All DJGPP packages, including Allegro, come with specific instructions
which can be found in any README files that accompany them, and many
also come with TexInfo documentation which can be read with the GNU Info
reader (v2gnu/txi312b.zip).

If you have any _specific_ questions, such as why a particular program
you're trying to compile isn't working, please _first_ read the
documentation, and then ask for help here on this discussion group. 
We're open 24 hours a day.  :-)
