Do you want a GUI library, or a graphical editor? Since you say you are
wanting to try DJGPP, I'll assume the latter. If the former, some GUI
libraries include Allegro, SWORD, and Turbo Vision from RHIDE's sources.

The `standard' development environments for DJGPP are:
- RHIDE. A lookalike to Borland's Turbo <X> environment, but freeware and
IMHO much better. In the v2apps/ directory where you got DJGPP, IIRC.
- GNU Emacs. The world's most powerful editor, or so many consider. Quite
popular in the Unix world. Unfortunately doesn't support interactive
debugging from inside it.

RHIDE is quite similar.

Emacs has been around MUCH longer, but RHIDE is native to DOS... I've found
that bugs in either get fixed very fast.
