Hello,

i have learned about the existance of djgpp since some months but I had
never started 'seriously' too look into it.

Now, after I had installed Win2000 again from scratch for various reasons, I
find that my Visual Basic disks are corrupted and cant install them any
more.
I want to take this opportunity to finally 'abandon' Visual Basic.
I also don't want di switch to Delphi.
What I am looking for is a developing system which  :

a) is easily obtainable via download (no, its not the couple of dollars that
I want to avoid to spend, but certainly I dont want a system which costs
over 200 dollars)

b) can provide me with  .EXE file with all libraries included which runs on
all Windows platforms

c) allows me to develop a GUI (almost) as simply as with VisualBasic.

Do you think I'm right with the choice of djgpp  ???

Just as a question, since I am a newby, what would be the
advantage/disadvantage/difference in using tcl/tk  (which I know nothing
about )  ??


Thanx for your answers.


John.
