yeah, right ... see other posts regarding void main or read the C and
C++ FAQs.

read the README.1ST file.

, I forget what those options are off hand, but they 
are in the readme.1st file.  In the bin directory there is a batch file 
that sets up a couple of enviroment variables, you need to run that with 
the djgpp path using both front slashes and backslashes ( read the docs, 
it is in there ), its a unix thing.  As long as the bin directory for 
djgpp is in your path you should be all set from there.

hope this explanation of installation helps out.

IMO djgpp is much better than anyone lets on.  Look at quake for an 
example of just what kind of power you can get out of djgpp.  And allegro 
is a really good game library (IMO), it doesn't have everything, and 
isn't portable, yet, but stories tell of people who are porting it to 
linux, and who knows what else.  It might even be portable to watcom 32 
bit or borland 32 bit in the future if there is enough interest for 
people to do the grunt work.
