1) I am new to DJGPP but have used Watcom for some time. I was unable to 
   find a FAQ so part one is where is the FAQ?

2) I have a series of prograrms that I have made in DOS under Watcom and 
   a little Borland C. Some of my friends have expressed interest in me
   converting them to linux. The best way to do that I see is by using 
   DJGPP (question number 2 is, is this a true conculsion?).

3) After installing and getting "started" getting code transfered over I
   have found myself not able to access A000:0000 for my graphics stuff
   I am just tring to do some simple 320x200x256 mode stuff and I am
   at a loss. I found something about a SVGA lib? What is this lib? does
   it come with DJGPP? How do I use it? If someone could give me a simple
   code on getting into 320x200 mode and putting a simple white dot on the
   screen I am sure I can figure the rest out (and I can't stress this next
   part enough... PLEASE NO ASSEMBLY) Everything I do must be in true
   C. If this works the program will be ported to as many OS's as I can.

If this is covered in the FAQ, please forgive me. Like I said in my attempts
(brief attempts I admit) I have not found it.
