Yes, this is TC++ Lite (which only allows 64k of code and 64k of data).
It won't let you run anything which you've compiled unless inside of the
IDE. In short, don't use it. But, what I don't understand is whether the
person asking for help was using RHIDE or TC Lite's IDE to compile using
DJGPP. If he/she was only writing the code in TC Lite, then it should
(for the most part) work with DJGPP, but I have no idea about whether
running DJGPP from it would work or not. Even if it were, I wouldn't
reccommend it.
