Re: compiler questions

["Derold" <bro1@pmt.org>]

1. The question you should ask yourself is, Am I more comfortable using DOS
or Windows?  You can make DOS programs in Windows and I'm perty sure you can
make Windows programs in DOS, so for me it's a personal preference.

2.  I have no experience with DJGPP, when I decided to have a go at C
programming I found myself a copy of Microsoft's C++ Professional Edition,
It seems to meet my needs at this time so I probably won't change in the
future.

Sorry I couldn't be of much help.
