    Yes, I have installed it on win98 and it worked fine. Only rhide works though, but thats good enough. It didnt seem to like win2k however.

    DJGPP is a bit outdated isn't it?
    Is it DOS only?

    That's that computer game? It'll never catch on.

    Let me rephrase that.
    As far as I know, DJGPP cannot produce Win32 code. First version of Quake was for DOS remember.

    mingw32 a win32 gcc http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~janjaap/mingw32/ and the cygwin project http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/index.html

    might be of interest if you want more uptodate win32 implementations of GCC than djgpp.

    yeah try out cygwin. Its excellant. A complete unix api over the windows one. Very handy if you know unix programming better (sockets in windows are quite different/bent). or if you want something that'll run on unix or windows without any changes.

    Thanks. I'll look into it.

    Sockets in Win32 are the same as in Unix Quozl. What makes you think otherwise? The ws2_32 implementation that ships with VC++ is basically BSD sockets.
    Well, there are some tiny differenes, you have to call WSAStartup and you use ioctlsocket() instead of ioctl. But I find 2 #ifdefs make the code portable. This wouldn't count as "completely different".
    Anyways, CygWin is very useful. Mainly because UNIX and Win32 multithreading stuff is different.
