DJGPP doesn't have `poke' in its library.  Be sure to look into the
library reference before using non-standard functions, because some of
them aren't there.

Your other problems are because you don't invoke the compiler
correctly.  The file readme.1st describes how to do that for C and C++
programs; please read it.

If you did understand it, then that's enough indeed (it took me about
ten seconds, and then I read the on-line tutorial to understand more).

But if you did NOT understand Info in ten minutes, please make the
necessary effort to understand it, or ask questions here about those
aspects of Info you didn't understand.  If you can't use Info, you
will not be able to read most of the DJGPP-related docs.

In any case, please do NOT assume that this forum is an alternative
for reading the available docs.  People here provide help for free,
but please respect them by showing that you've made some effort on
your part to find the answers before posting your questions.
