DJGPP doesn't come with an IDE on its own. There's a really good one
though which I can highly recommend you to use. It's similar to
Borland's IDE used in TC/BC 3.1. It's called RHIDE and you can always
download the newest version from any SimTel-mirror or from the official
RHIDE-homepage at http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~rho/rhide/rhide.html

Well, you probably have to decide this on your own. It sure is a very
professional package with all you need for developing DOS- and
Windows-Apps. But as far as I'm concerned, I prefer DJGPP over any other
DOS-32bit-compiler (and probably most other readers of this newsgroup
think the same).
If you plan to develop Win32-Apps as well, you should probably get
Borland's development suite or MS Visual C++. They offer much more
features than RSXNTDJ (DJGPP-extension for developping Win32-Apps).
