void is an illegal return type for main().  However, compiling C++
programs is simple:  use 'gpp' instead of 'gcc' (assuming you installed
gcc 2.8.0).  Also, make sure:

 - You have installed the C++ packages (gpp280b.zip, lgpp280b.zip)
 - You have set up your DJGPP environment correctly
 - You can compile C programs
 - You have fully read the instructions in 'readme.1st'

hth!
