This is to further explain the error occurred.  I am worried about the
one in TESTS, because that one is supposed to test the completion of
the DJGPP package installation.  For SRC I am just curious as to what
it's contents are for, and whether it's necessary for me to keep them.
In either case, is it okay for me to delete the directories?

On a side note:  I am just learning C++.  After hearing another friend
learning C++ in Unix, is trying to do the same.  I am not going as far
as using my shell account all the time or installing Linux, but I do
want to learn the processes of making an executable first-hand.  So I
FTPed EVERYTHING from \Simtel\DJGPP\*.  I have installed DJGPP 3 times
so far, and it is getting better.  Thanks to your help, of course.

PS:  I ran the compiler on one of my existing exercise source files,
and it works as advertised, so I am okay with the rest of the stuff.
The executables are noticeably bigger than my VC++ 4 executables,
though (1/2 bigger).

After it got to 'Making in posix\utime', the follow are the output:

Running MAKEALL in \DJGPP\SRC
After it got to 'Making in poxis/setjmp', the following are shown:
