I have a few questions before I set up a DOS workstation where I plan to develope some stuff with DJGPP. First of all, which 32 bit extender would be the best? Did anyone try the 32 bit extender that comes with Caldera DR DOS? (I worked with that extender a while ago, when it was still developed by Novell, and it kinda rocked). Second: Which ZIPs should I pick in order to have a complete developement environment, for ANSI C and C++? I heared about RHIDE, but when I first tried it 1 year ago, it had some minor bugs, is there a newer version? Third: Somewhere in my head I have the buzz of a possible long file support under DOS, with the use of some DJGPP tools. Did I just dream that? Is that only valid under Win32? Fourth: What's up with Win32s (the 32 bit libraries for Windows 3.1x), is it supported? If not, is there a workaround using some 32 bit extender? (see first question). Thanks in advance to whoever feels my post is worth an answer :o) I'm particularly curious about the first question. And one last thing: long time ago I have installed DJGPP from a CD that came with "Teach Yourself C++ in 24 hours", which had a cute installer. Is that instaler available somewhere, or do I have to unpack the ZIPs manually and place all the files in the appropriate directories? Cheers, mario
