   OK, now that you've got me excited about djgpp...

   What do I need to run it?  Right now I have an 8088 with 640k RAM and
   an older version of DOS.  Does anyone know of a C[++] compiler which
   can run on something like this?  Emailed responses especially
   appreciated...  Thanks much in advance!

DJGPP requires 386SX or better (387 desireable but emulation is available),
>2MB RAM and ~4MB free disk after installation for virtual memory.  The more
memory the better I have 4MB available, after disk cache, and some compiles
come close to swapping (swapped compiles take MUCH MUCH MUCH ..... LONGER do
this only if you haven't had dinner yet, maybe if you need time to cook dinner
even).
