No problem. To compile a program you need a simple ASCII editor - such as
notepad - or a full blown Integraded Development Environment (IDE) such as
RHIDE. RHIDE is much easier to use than typing all the commands in by hand
on the DOS command line.

Make sure you read the FAQ and the readme files on disc. Assuming that
you've unzipped all the program files together, you'll find a readme.1st
file which should tell you step-by-step what you have to do to set up DJGPP.

A good tutorial for C is the Coronado C Tutorial. I can't remember the
address, but if someone else doesn't point it out to you then a simple web
search should do it.
