Why GNUGCC or GCC/EMX?

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!


Eric
