You're in luck. This happens to be the DJGPP newsgroup, and you can get
DJGPP from:

http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/

This compiler is free, and you can use it for anything including commercial
applications. You need a 386 or higher to run it, or the programs it
generates, but it is a very powerful compiler.

If you're planning to write computer games, you may want to check out
Allegro as well.

Allegro programs can be ported to Windows or Linux later on (see website for
details; last time I looked it was under work in progress).
