I use Win95 and djgpp at the same time with batch files also. I
sometimes use notepad to make a new txt file, then write my program
with that. Then I drag it onto a batch file I created that renames my
file to the extention cpp, c, or h, depending on which one I just
made.

for makec.bat:

@echo off
ren %1 *.c

and makecpp.bat or makeh.bat would be similar. I also wrote a c
program (with djgpp of course!) that I just drag my c or cpp file onto
and it makes a batch file for me. Like this:

gcc -o PathAndFile.exe PathAndFile.*

Where PathAndFile is the path and file name of the dropped file.

This makes it easier than running command.com in a window and typing
it all out again and again (am much too lazy!) This could all be
avoided using something like RHIDE, but I find Win95 quicker for
opening files and useful for clipboard stuff.
