You may also want to look at emx, a gcc port from Eberhart Matters. It
does not include graphics like djgpp does, but it is a 32-bit compiler
which allows you to run the applications that you compile for DOS, to
run under OS/2 2.0 as well.
It even includes some support for the presentation manager and other
OS/2 specific functions..
You can get it from rusmv1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de
