Ok, a few dumb questions from a newbie. My internet
access is limited so I don't have the full FAQ yet. (take
pity on me and mail it to spush AT hcsd DOT hac DOT com if you have it)

What extenders is DJGPP compatible with? Does it come with its own?
What are the license restrictions if so? (typical GNU?)

Is it DPMI version 1 or 2? compatible under VCMI? Third party
or in GNU source form?

If I get the CD-ROM, does it include binaries or do I need a
32 bit compiler to bootstrap the source into binaries?

Does one use the DJGPP cc compiler typically to compile the GNU sources?
or are other C compilers acceptable? Intel offered a 32 bit
DPMI compiler for a while there at low cost. It's extender wasn't terribly
good as DPMI extenders go and lacked the compatibility we needed
at that time but it might be a good choice if one had to bootstrap
from source.
