Dear Nate Eldredge,

Thanks for your response.

To repeat the error report from gcc:

c:/djgpp.v2/lib/crt0.o(.data+0x92):crt0.s: undefined reference to `main'
c:/djgpp.v2/lib/libc.a(crt1.o)(.text+0x346):crt1.c: undefined reference to
`main'

Herewith are three pieces of data - date/size stamp for crt0.o and two
name searches, the first for crt0.o, and the second for crt1.o from libc.a. 
I don't see a reference to 'main' anywhere - just '_main' and '___main'.
