Long file names are not supported on Windows NT, and the numeric tails
affixed to the short aliases confuse the compiler. Unzip with a non-LFN
unzipper, or I believe there is a Windows setting to disable numeric tails.

Did you check to see whether or not they stayed set? I don't know what the
"system environment" on NT is.

Think about it. Unless you put `gxx' in your C: root directory (a REALLY BAD
idea), this won't work. Just run `gxx hello.cc'.
Oh, but you're using 2.8.0. This has been changed; now the command is `gpp'
or `g++'. Yes, I also think the documentation should reflect this. DJ?

That I don't know, but try the solution mentioned above. I suspect it will help.

Er... I believe that should be `-lstdcxx'.

BECAUSE NOBODY HAS WRITTEN ONE. This is *free software*, remember?

Because peoples' ideas of "all the files required to run DJGPP" vary
greatly. Should it include C++? Objective-C? Pascal? Make? Bison???
Believe me, the zip picker is a big improvement. I haven't known it to be wrong.
