Hi,

What is in the "dm" directory that is part of the "dmd.zip" file that contains the dmd compiler and such.  Is it needed on a linux system?

Thanks,

So it contains two Windows executables and a MSVC library.
I'd guess nothing on Linux really need those, unless you plan on cross-compiling (perhaps with Wine?)...

Handy files from the Digital Mars C++ distribution needed by Windows DMD.

No, the Linux DMD works with gcc.
