Have a look here: http://www.gnu.org

There is a history of DJGPP and a project overview at:

GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection (it used to be the GNU C Compiler)

In Unix/Linux you would normally use the command gcc to run the C
compiler and g++ to run the C++ compiler.

But in DOS, g++ in not a valid filename, so instead the C++ compiler
is called gpp (gxx works too, for compatibility with older versions).
