Hi,

    After many recommendations for djgpp, i've finally downloaded it.
I'm used to real mode under Borland C/C++ 4.5, and have a few questions
about protected mode and djgpp.

Are programs compiled under DJGPP automatically in protected mode, or do
you have to put your program INTO protected mode?

Do you have to be in a DOS shell in windows to use protected mode?

If all DOS memory is protected, how do you access the video memory?

Do I have to learn AT&T syntax for assembly, or is there a converter
from 80x86 to AT&T?

Thanks for any help...
