This too is covered in readme.1st.  For a basic C++ installation, you
need, in addition to the C files, v2gnu/gpp280b.zip and
v2gnu/lgpp280b.zip.  This assumes that you got gcc280b.zip when you got
the C components; if you got gcc2721b.zip, you need gpp2721b.zip and
lgp271b.zip, respectively.  The two versions are _not_ compatible with
each other.

Once you have the files, unzip them like you did the other DJGPP
components, and you're set to go.  I should note that, because gcc 2.8.0
is distributed with some filenames longer than 8+3, if you want a
totally clean installation you MUST follow the instructions in chapter
8.2 of the DJGPP FAQ to disable numeric tails in Windows 95.

After this, you are set to compile C++, as long as you remember to link
the C++ libraries (either by appending "-lstdcxx" to your command line
or using 'gpp' instead of 'gcc').

hth!
