Subject: Installing DJGPP

To anyone who may help me:

I downloaded about 1 zipped files on my IBM Pentium machine and tried to 
compile some c++ code.  I guess the trouble I'm having is finding 
documentation on using this package.  I have been playing with "Info" I 
downloaded but it is not very explicit.  For instance, my c++ code already 
compiles and runs beautifully using Borland;s c++ compiler V4.5 in DOS.  (DOS 
is all I care about, I don't even need graphics at this point.)  However, my 
code uses templates which are self-contained in it's own module and header 
files are included in my main program.  I had to use "pragmas" in my code 
using Borland but I don't know what options to pick using this DJGPP 
compiler.  Where is template documentation?  Do I have to download TeX to 
print out some of these files so I have a more complete manual?

I am also using DOS Protected Mode so I can access my full 16MB of extended 
memory.  In Borland I used a "-WX" option but do I need to specify a 
particular option with DJGPP.  Please give me a little direction.  Any help 
would be much appreciated.
