It will not work under Win2k -- I understand there will be a correction
to this in later version of DJGPP but not yet. If you are just learning
C++, you can DL the free Borland C++ compiler (www.borland.com) and it
will work fine -- you can build win32 software only though. But all
(most?) C++ for dummies examples will work..

Or, you can get Linux and use g++. (free as well)...

PS. C++ for Dummies is good book --- IMO, for new programmers the best
books are C for Dummies then C++ for Dummies and then either a "real"
book from library or More C++ for Dummies and then a "real" book.
["real" book is all the other "easy 5 step" guides to programming]
