Hi Paul Wankadia,
 BO>> Are we talking about the same DJGPP? i got all zipped files
 PW> The DOS port, by D.J. Delorie, of the GNU C compiler?
 yep, it's hard to confuse it anyway.
 PW> v2.01 worked pretty much straight out of the archives, IIRC.  Since I

 is it possible that some files assume c:\djgpp regardless of the dos djgpp 
variable? because i installed it on g drive..
 BO>> virtually no configuration, that I can not configure even a

 PW> Just get the binaries, next time ... the sources are not required ...
 okay, if there is a next time, I'll try that..
 PW> I presume you've heard of "NASM", by now ... it's an Intel-syntax
 PW> assembler that can be used with DJGPP ...
 umm, ops, no... I lost my interest in a protected mode compiler after I 
purchased C++B, TC++3.0 is good enough for real mode programs.. even if it is 
not fully ANSI C++ compatible.. And what I know about DJGPP is what I learned 
when I started to download it.. surely not much..
 PW>> There I was, thinking that "Quake" was written with DJGPP...
 BO>> I don't have any simplest idea about Quake, except that it is a
 BO>> popular doom type game; is it 'there you were' as 'a great game
 BO>> like quake is free/shareware' or 'it is not free/shareware even
 BO>> thought it was written using DJGPP' ?
 PW> Let's put it this way ... Carmack's made a lot of money out of
 PW> "Quake", even though "Quake" WAS written with DJGPP ...
 was it compiled with DJGPP? I think it is not prohibited to develop software 
using DJGPP and distribute binaries compiled with another compiler.. I can't 
think a way to compile a game, or anything that goes down to hardware level 
for that matter, that is developed on another compiler though..
                                                Berk
