It can be downloaded legally from the Borland Musuem site
http://community.borland.com/museum/  along with Turbo Pascal but they are
both restricted to 16 Bit programming.  You'll also need to regesiter with
Borland (free, it takes a few minutes to answer some questions).  Really
they are only useful for historic reasons.  Mingw, LCC, Borland C++ and
Free Pascal and VPascal are all free to download and use and are better.

I have installed and used all of the above and DJGPP must be in the top 2
DOS32 compilers (with Watcom) and I'd rate the others as:
1.  Mingw
2.  LCC-Win32
3.  Borland C++

Mingw doesn't come with an IDE so you'll have to uspply your own.
The only reason I rate Mingw ahead of LCC-Win32 is that LCC is a C only
compiler (not C++).  I don't know if this is an issue with the translator
or not???
