Hi all. I'm not a programmer so pardon me for this query but I have
this source code that I want to compile (randgen.cpp) as a MS-DOS
program. I didn't write it. I just want to make a version that runs
under true DOS (they only provide a Windows version which I don't want)
for myself so I can play a game called VGA Planets with the assistance
of this utility.

So I downloaded and installed (easy BTW) the DJGPP compiler for DOS and
went to compile the file as follows:

C:>gcc randgen.cpp -o randgen.exe -lm

This is the error it gives me:
randgen.cpp: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
randgen.cpp:1166: error: 'getcwd' was not declared in this scope
randgen.cpp:1168: error: 'chdir' was not declared in this scope

So is this a bug in their code or a error in my use or configuration of
the compiler?
