Hello David,

DM>RL> The new Version 2.00 DJGPP 32bit MSDdos compiler is on the board in
  >RL> the PDNDJGPP area.

DM>I take it this is a BBS where you are?
  >Do you know of an internet site with the above files?
  >And, how much of the 22Megs would I need to download?

Yes! Brisbane.  Yes Archie.au -> Simtel Vendors/djgpp/  about 6 meg.

DM>Sounds pretty interesting...

It is an EXCELLENT package, it's freeware and the authors need a few
accolades I feel.

I hope this isn't out of line, but here is part of the readme.1st.
                    ----------------------------

This is the README.1ST file for DJGPP Version 2.00

DJGPP v2.0 is a free environment for developing 32-bit protected mode
software in C/C++ under MS-DOS.

Status and other information (online docs, FAQ, mail archives) are
made available through the djgpp web pages at http://www.delorie.com/.
Discussion of DJGPP and questions about its usage or features are
through the djgpp news group (post to comp.os.msdos.djgpp) and djgpp
mailing list (send your messages to , subscribe
through ).  Look on the web page for information
on the latest versions of various DJGPP packages.

Version information is in manifest/*.ver within each zip.  Contents
are in manifest/*.mft in each zip.

A different, more complete (and longer) tutorial on how to get started
with DJGPP was written by An  and is available
by anonymous ftp from x2ftp.oulu.fi in the
/pub/msdos/programming/djgpp2 directory, filename djtut-bm.zip.  You
can also read it on-line by pointing your Web browser to this URL:

GETTING STARTED
***************
The info below is the minimum new users should know to get them up and
running with DJGPP.  Please read the DJGPP documentation and the FAQ
list for further details.  New users are encouraged to read the FAQ
list in its entirety.

What to download
================
In general, download the binary distributions only; most of the people
don't need the source distributions.

To build C programs, you'll need djdev200.zip, gcc272b.zip, and
bnu252b.zip.  For C++, also get gpp272b.zip and lgp271b.zip.  To read
the online manuals, get txi360b.zip and run "info".  If you don't have
a DPMI server installed, you'll need csdpmi1b.zip.  (Windows, QDPMI,
386Max, NWDOS, OS/2, Win/NT and Linux DOSEmu all provide DPMI
services, so you don't need CWSDPMI in those environments.)  For more
details, download either faq200b.zip and read Chapter 4 of the FAQ.



PS:- This package is probably not for beginners or designed as a
     tutorial for C or C++ but it does present and operate as well as
     Watcom V10:00 IMHO.

If you need further info post me NM.
