That's quite alright. Someone once told me that there are no dumb
questions.

I'm not sure I understand you correctly, but if what you're asking is
if there's an ide for DJGPP, the answer is yes: rhide. If you haven't
got it, I recommend downloading it from
http://www.lanet.lv/~pavenis/rhide.html

In what way does it fail? Do you get a `bad command or filename' or do
you get an error message from GCC?

IIRC, go32 is obsolete. What version of DJGPP did you get with the
book? You can get the latest version from http://www.delorie.com/.

I'm not sure what to make of the`3D' here, but assuming they're not
really there, this looks right to me.

this looks right.
