I am having difficulty figuring a few DJGPP things out.

After compiling, at least some makefiles in the samples
will use "aout2exe" to prepend the go32.exe (or equivalent).
Some also run "strip" in between -- why?

Now for the video.

I have unzip'ed djdev109.zip, djgas138.zip, and djgcc222.zip
and set things up.
I have 1024x768 monitor (a mystery brand) and 
a Diamond SpeedStar 24X video card on a '486.
Do I need any additional files to play around with
the video?  Is there a compatible driver (and how
do I use it)?

In the samples, are there examples of programs
that dump images to the screen; if so, what
are they?  (I am paritcularly interested in grayscale).
If not, are there video example programs in some
ftp-accessible archive.

Thanks in advance.
