Hello Everyone, I'm not sure I got this right, but from where I stand, it seems like there are two gnu c++ compiler, wich are mutually incompatible. I'm real new to this and I would be very greatful if someone would explain what are the differences, the pros and cons of each, and what if anything else, is required to get them running (make?, os/2 toolkit?). Apparently, one of them runs under EMX. I have no idea what it is. Is this some kind of shell alternative to CMD.EXE? Also, can I use emacs with any of these two environments? Will I be able to make PM application with either one of these compilers? I already downloaded the emacs and gnugcc21 archives, but I'm mesmerized at the size of those things - especially emacs. Does it really require 9Mb? Can I use emacs without the lisp stuff? As you can tell, I'm quite new to all this and any help you can provide me will be greatly appreciated. Is there anybody out there who is actively using either one, who would be kind enough to give me some much needed advice? Many thanks!
