Although I'm not Paul, I answer you anyway:
DJGPP - DJ GNU Programming Platform, is a DOS Port of GNU's C&C++  
Compilers and some other GNU Tools like GAS (GNU Assembler), the GNU  
Debuggers and the whole binary tools a.s.o. The code quality of djgpp is  
on the level of the well known C/C++ Compilers like Watcom and Borland.  
There are also a lot of tools which make a real good development  
environment out of djgpp. But the best thing is that you can use djgpp for  
free, even for your comercial projects. There are also some disadvantages  
in using djgpp. One can only develope DOS programs. One have to use the  
AT&T Syntax while writing ASM Code. And the original djgpp distribution  
can only produce 386- and 486-optimized code, but there are a pentium  
optimized package out which was developed by the Pentium Optimization  
Group. If you're interested in more information about GNU just visit  
www.delorie.com, the home of djgpp.
