Thanks, but if I had Turbo C++, I wouldn't have DJGPP. I am not, in my heart
of hearts a GNU-head or anything, I just hoped to get some C programming
practice in while I saved up the ridiculous sticker price for a full
package from one of the leeches (oops I mean software companies).
Anyway, I guess then that I am stuck in the world of DOS (not that I hate
DOS or anything, it just seems silly for me to be running under Windows and to
have to build up a seperate GUI if I want to use one.) Anyway thanks for
the warning. Perhaps the FAQ maintainers should be notified...
