This is README.1ST, which you should have read before any other. Please
read this COMPLETELY before going any further.
WARNING: This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTEE. I can't even
guarantee that this software won't wipe out your entire hard drive (it's
happened to a few people). USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! It's always a good
idea to make regular backups of your hard drives anyway.
If you are using PKUNZIP to extract your files, don't forget the -d or
you'll get them all in the same directory! All djgpp modules are
designed to be unzipped from the same directory, so that they install
themselves properly.
djgpp is a complete 32-bit C and C++ development environment for DOS.
This product is intended for users who have experience using Unix, not
DOS users who expect djgpp to act like any other DOS compiler. This is
NOT the software you want if you want to learn programming.
Supported: 80386, 80387, 80486, XMS, himem.sys, VCPI, QEMM, 386MAX,
DesqView.
Unsupported: XTs, 80286, Windows (because Microsoft won't support DPMI
1.0), OS/2, multitasking, signals.
Features: 80387 emulator, 32-bit unix-ish environment, flat memory
model, debugger, SVGA graphics.
==================== Reporting bugs ====================
ALL changes to the source code should be submitted in "diff -c2" format.
If you just send replacement files, I'll reject them, since I don't know
which parts you've changed and my sources keep changing anyway.
Note that new features are not bugs. If you would like to work on
adding features to djgpp, please send me e-mail at dj@ctron.com
beforehand, in case it's being worked on already and to coordinate it's
integration. If you want to request a new feature but not work on it,
send to the mailing list.
If the problem is in one of the FSF utilities, please don't expect me to
fix it. Problems with FSF code should be reported to the FSF; I only
compile the code and distribute it. My best suggestion is to post to
the appropriate newsgroup or mailing list, but if you can't find one,
try gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.
If the problem is in anything else, and you have e-mail access, I strongly
recommend joining the djgpp mailing list. To do so, send mail to
listserv@sun.soe.clarkson.edu:
$ mail listserv@sun.soe.clarkson.edu
Subject:
help
add djgpp
^D
Any mail sent to djgpp@sun.soe.clarkson.edu will get automatically
forwarded to all the subscribers on the list, and someone may have an
answer to your query. Note that I (DJ) am of course a subscriber, so I
will get it also.
If all else fails, you may contact me directly at dj@ctron.com
(preferred) or at home:

==================== Redistribution ====================
The utilities built from FSF code may NOT be made available through any
means not prepared to also distribute the code. This isn't just a good
idea, it's the LAW. Read the file "copying" for more details on FSF
copyright terms. Since djgpp includes such binaries, it requires the
same terms.
Programs that link in FSF code must comply with the GNU Library Licence,
or the GNU public license.
I strongly recommend prepending stub.exe (use aout2exe) for any programs
you intend to distribute. This avoids me requiring a royalty, and aids
upgrading go32, since stub.exe doesn't change.
