Hello,

I'm trying to get a programming environment set up under os/2 2.0, and
need some advice/help on a number of things.

First, I was confronted by the bewildering array of gcc compilers at hobbes:
gcc 2.1
gcc-2.2.2
emx-0.8d

A while back, I saw a post (It's gone now; was it the faq?) detailing
some of the differences between them, but I can no longer remember the 
details.  (A copy of that might be very useful if placed at hobbes in
the programming directory or in the info directory).

Anyway, my needs are just for a 32 bit C compiler.  DOS compatibility is
not a concern.  The ability to do PM programming might be nice, but isn't
necessary.  I do need a debugger, and a make program.  So, guessing, I 
grabbed gcc-2.2.2.  (Please tell me I didn't grab the wrong one).

So I unpacked all the stuff into its directories, and I notice it lacks
a debugger (as far as I can tell) and a make program.  There is a
gnumake program in the programming directory whose description makes it sound
experimental or something.  Does this program work OK?  Is there a debuger
available for gcc-2.2.2?  If there is, where is it?  If there isn't,
do any of the other gcc packages have a debugger available?

Lastly, I saw someone's post about what to do with the .texi file, but I 
now need to know what to do with the man files that document the library
functions.  What software do I need to view them correctly and/or print
them out?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide
-Bryon
