It's been some time since I've done any C programming (I have VC++ 
4.0!), and I'd thought I'd dip my toe back in again. Deciding which 
compiler to use can be difficult, as they all have their frustrations.

I decided to give DJGPP another go, and I have a fairly old version. I 
wanted to do try curses programming - and noticed a recent version 
compiled for DJGPP which does the trick. Great.

It's no longer a pressing issue, but a question worth asking anyway: 
what DJGPP-relevant variables are predefined by make? I'm asking this so 
that I can detect the compiler being used.

Also, a bit lazy, I know, but are there any libraries available for 
processing files one line at a time, and is there a date/time library 
for calculating the day of the week, and other such useful calendar 
functions?
