- In the freeware compiler department djgpp (the gcc port) is the
- only package worth looking at. However as was previously
- mentioned it requires at least a 386 as it uses DPMI. In addition
- to this it is not exactly the incarnation of user friendliness
- either. For those learning C under Dos I would reccomend one of
- the older borland 3.x compilers. They offer all the tools
- neccessary for the beginner without the added complexity of a
- newer windows based tool yet still posesses full ANSI compliance.
