This just runs the pre-processor, so `hello.exe' now holds pre-processed 
source C++ code: hardly worth calling it .exe!

	gcc hello.cpp -o hello -lgpp -lm  (compiles and links, creates `hello')
	coff2exe hello			  (makes DOS executable `hello.exe')

(if you use DJGPP v2.0 beta, the second line above is unnecessary, because 
the first one creates hello.exe as well as hello).  Note that with the 
above two lines, you don't need to run cpp as a separate pass: gcc does 
it for you.

Please, *please* read the FAQ list, especially if you are a new user of 
DJGPP.  It explains everything you've asked in the past two days.  The 
FAQ is available as faq102.zip from the same place you get DJGPP.
