You need to get 'v2gnu/bnu27b.zip' as well as the other required
packages.  For C++, the minimum is:

v2/readme.1st		Readme
v2/djdev201.zip		development environment 
v2gnu/bnu27b.zip	binutils (as, ld, ar, nm, etc.)
v2gnu/gcc2721b.zip	C compiler
v2gnu/gpp2721b.zip	C++ compiler
v2gnu/lgp271b.zip	C++ headers and libraries
v2misc/csdpmi3b.zip	DPMI host for MS-DOS

I highly recommend these additional packages:

v2/faq210b.zip		Frequently Asked Questions
v2gnu/mak375b.zip	GNU Make
v2gnu/txi390b.zip	documentation reader (type "info")
v2apps/rhide12b.zip	Borland-style IDE

To compile a C++ program, use the following commands (capitalization is
important):

(One step compilation)
gxx -o prog.exe prog.cc

(One step compilation with warnings, optimization, and debugging)
gxx -Wall -O -g -o prog.exe prog.cc

(Two step compilation)
gcc -c prog.cc
gxx -o prog.exe prog.o

(Two step compilation with warnings, optimization, and debugging)
gcc -c -Wall -O -g prog.cc
gxx -o prog.exe prog.o

Please read the readme file in its entirety, and chapter 6 of the FAQ,
if you have any further problems.
