You can write your programs with any text editor.  DOS EDIT.COM is
usable, but you will probably want something better after a while,
e.g. RHIDE, PFE or Emacs.

Make sure you have set up DJGPP correctly (see the readme.1st file).
Then you can compile your program like this:

    gpp -Wall -W -O2 program.cpp -o program.exe

If you have installed the info viewer you can get more information
on using gcc/gpp by typing

    info gcc

And make sure you read the FAQ.
