DJGPP

What is DJGPP?

DJGPP (DJ's GNU Programming Platform) is a comprehensive development suite designed for 386+ IBM PC compatible systems that support DOS-enabled operating systems. Spearheaded by DJ Delorie, the project was initiated in 1989 and offers a robust platform for building a wide range of software applications. At the core of DJGPP is a ported version of the renowned GCC compiler, complemented by a collection of popular GNU utilities such as bash, find, tar, ls, awk, sed, and ld, all tailored for the DPMI environment
