a while ago i saw a posting that gave the net address and directory for a 386 c compiler. Could that somebody please repost? I believe that the site had the word 'grape' in the site name. msmith@att3b2.tricity.wsu.edu

Here, once again, is the ftp address for g++ ported to DOS by a wonderful person who I have not yet had the chance to meet, but who has obviously put a lot of time into essentially "giving" all of us some tools to do "real" work on our PCs: site: grape.ecs.clarkson.edu directory: /pub/msdos/djgpp In this directory there are two copies of the g++ compiler (which is purportedly a full 386 compiler supporting c/c++, but which I have not yet used). One of these copies is a humongous zip file--about 2MB. The other copy is a whole ton of little (32k or so) pieces of that zip file. There are also copies of the README from the zip and programs to split or merge files (executables and source). Hope this helps. BTW -- This seems like a FAQ. Further, maybe there is some way to make FAQ archives more available and obvious for newcomers. In comp.graphics there is a message posted regularly that has as message something like: READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST -- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS It really gets your attention. In this file could be placed some of the really, really frequently asked questions, but the real point would be clues about finding the FAQ files located elsewhere (garbo, and equivalent places in the US, etc.) Just a thought... If this seems like a good idea and no one else wants to do it, send me a whole bunch of e-mail with ideas for the content (or post here), and I'll try to put something together. -- Daniel G.

Close - its in ~ftp/pub/msdos/djgcc The files: djgpp.zip - 2.2M djgppzip.000 through djgppzip.063 - 32K each readme - get & read before downloading merge.c merge.exe split.c split.exe This really is a 32-bit C and C++ compiler, full featured, with graphics and a debugger and everything, sources included.
