 I just downloaded DJGPP for C programming. After unzipping all the 
archives, I tried to compile a few ANSI C programs that I wrote on a Mac
for use on a Solaris workstation, and which I had copied to my new 
Toshiba laptop. I'm _very, very pleased_ with DJGPP. Everything ran
straight away. And, the programs compiled without alteration.
The only thing I found disconcerting is that when I altered the font 
using rhide, the background is bothersome && I need to learn how to make 
it solid white.

Anyway, I serve a C Programmer's Reference which can be found from:

        "http://users.southeast.net/~garyg/index.html"

As I've not programmed for PCs before (but with tools like this, I can 
learn to ignore MSloth), y'all might not be familiar with this 
hierarchy. Check it out, it should help eliminate some of the simple 
questions. Of course, there's nothing like buying a good reference to 
learn to code.
And, I'd gladly contribute source for others to look at and use.

Cheers,
