Virtually anywhere you want, as long as djgpp will have access to that directory (but not c:\dev). Usually you would create a directory for each project, a common choice is to keep projects under a main subdirectory, such as c:\src, c:\code or even c:\c. > Do I save them to the same folder as the compiler is in?

Well, I hope that helps. :-) Note that if you find that you *need* to be in the same directory as the compiler (c:\djgpp\bin), it means that your installation is not right. Check the readme.1st file and the first section of the FAQ.
