well i am using win98 and when i installed it i used pkunzip in a dos
shell... i 'SET LFN=n' at the DOS prompt so that it uses regular file name
instead of long... here is the output of set...

C:\WINDOWS>set
TMP=c:\windows\TEMP
TEMP=C:\windows\TEMP
PROMPT=$p$g
winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
DJGPP=E:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
PATH=E:\;E:\DJGPP\BIN;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\;C:\WINDOWS;C:
\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\COREL\OFFICE7\SHARED\TRUEDOC\BIN;D:\;D:\COMPRESS;C:\JDK11~1.
6\BIN;C:\JDK11~1.6\INCLUDE;C:\JDK11~1.6\LIB;E:\DJGPP\GNU\EMACS\BIN;E:\POVRAY31;;
D:\VIEWERS;E:\DJGPP;
GO32_V2_DEBUG=y
windir=C:\WINDOWS
BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4
LFN=n

i don't think i got any errors when i used gxx with djgpp 2.01... i just
installed 2.02 a few days ago (i only installed djdev202, is there any
other files i should install... also i am using versions of all other
related files from around June98  ie: gcc, make, etc.  i dont know if
there are newer versions that would work better?)

also: gcc works just fine, its just gxx... is there an option flag i can
use in the gcc line that tells it to use c++ instead of c?

well thank you for any help
nate
