Beware, it's 100 to 1 that they won't work even with that tool. That
just changes the file format, leaving the code the same. But since
those libs were probably written for a 16-bit compiler, they won't work
at all with DJGPP. There are some crazy hacks if you're desperate, but
if you're just starting, I'd forget about it.

A book is probably a good idea. If you have any programming experience,
try _The C Programming Language, 2nd Ed_ by Kerninghan and Ritchie.
Steer clear of anything "for dummies".
