Your following questions indicate that you have not read the file
readme.1st or the FAQ, please do so beacuse they will answer a lot.
If these are not on your CD you can download them from www.delorie.com

> How do I compile it?

This is answered in section 1 of the FAQ.

> Does DJGPP run under Windows 98?

Yes, in a DOS box.

> If so, how do I start it?

From the start menu, choose Programs - MS-DOS Prompt.  This will bring
up a DOS box where you can run any of the DJGPP programs.

> Does DJGPP have a create file feature?

You mean like "Wizards" in MSVC?  No.

> Does it only run under DOS?

Yes.  But of course, it will run in a DOS box under W95/98.

> Where do I save my .cpp files I create?

Anywhere you see fit.  Create a directory somewhere suitable and use
that.  DJGPP places no restrictions except that the files must be
accessible through the DOS command line.

> What are the .cpp files in each Chapter on the CD?
> Are the exercises menu driven?

No idea.  Ask the publisher.

> I am excited about the book, but I am confused about compiling the file.  

Please read the file readme.1st and section 1 of the FAQ, you can
download them from http://www.delorie.com/djgpp (follow the link to
the Zip-Picker).  While you are there, you might decide to download
the latest version of DJGPP.  If you need more help please post again.
