[Preston] Generating a programme for Linux from a .C for Dos

[Guy]

Adrian,
You should have a C compiler on your Linux machine already in the form of gcc
Type 'gcc -v' to see the version you have installed.

As for compiling software written for DOS, I don't know whether this would 
work or not.

Best wishes,
