OK, I've got several questions I REALLY want to know about:

-Can I use Turbo C++ 3.0 DOS libs with djgpp?  If so how?

-What's a good graphics/games library for djgpp (that's free)?

-Is there anything special I should know about for using the DJGPP XLib 
port?  

-How do I access video memory?  I don't know how to create a pointer to 
it, like I used to with MK_FP(0xA000,0)

-Will programs with the old keyword far, like in unsigned char far *, 
still compile?

-How do I access the XMS?  With malloc()?  Or some other special way?  If 
so how?

-Are there any books on DJGPP and it's ilk, or something I can apply to 
DJGPP?

That's about it.  I'm not a professional programmer, so I might be asking 
more questions like these.  Also, are there any IDEs out?  Where can I 
get them(other than Rawhide, which I like, but I'm exploring all my 
options :) ).

Any help you can give me would be GREATLY appreciated! :)
