If you search for the "DJGPP webring" you should find a lot of other sites.
One list which is particulary good is maintained by SET at
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/6552/dlinks.html

This is nothing to worry about. This is just the return value from your
program. If, for example, main() finished with "return 0;" like:

int main () {
   // other stuff
   return 0;
}

then you would receive the message that you did. While if you quit your
program with a value of "1" (indicating an error, maybe?) like:

int main () {
   // more stuff
   return 1;
}

would give you
"Program Exit Code: 1 (0x0001)"

Don't worry about it, I personally find it to be a handy feature when
debugging programs.
