Hello all. I have a few questions before I set up a DOS workstation
where I plan to develope some stuff with DJGPP.

First of all, which 32 bit extender would be the best? Did anyone try
the 32 bit extender that comes with Caldera DR DOS? (I worked with that
extender a while ago, when it was still developed by Novell, and it
kinda rocked).

Second: Which ZIPs should I pick in order to have a complete
developement environment, for ANSI C and C++? I heared about RHIDE, but
when I first tried it 1 year ago, it had some minor bugs, is there a
newer version?

Third: Somewhere in my head I have the buzz of a possible long file
support under DOS, with the use of some DJGPP tools. Did I just dream
that? Is that only valid under Win32?

Fourth: What's up with Win32s (the 32 bit libraries for Windows 3.1x),
is it supported? If not, is there a workaround using some 32 bit
extender? (see first question).


Thanks in advance to whoever feels my post is worth an answer :o)  I'm
particularly curious about the first question.


And one last thing: long time ago I have installed DJGPP from a CD that
came with "Teach Yourself C++ in 24 hours", which had a cute installer.
Is that instaler available somewhere, or do I have to unpack the ZIPs
manually and place all the files in the appropriate directories?


Cheers,



mario
