Sorry if this request is too specific...

re Who's Afraid of C++ and accompanying djgpp 

Hi. i just bought a copy of the above book and am having some difficulty
with the compiler. I followed the installation intructions as laid out
in the new Readme file on the author's website. (Windows 95 alternative,
running from hard disk) 

I ran the check under instruction # 2.4 (go32-v2) and got the following:

go32/v2 version 2.0 built Jan 23 1996 22:03:02
Usage: go32 coff-image [args]
Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2 binaries
as well as v1 binaries (old makefiles). Put ahead of the old go32 in
your path.
DPMI memory available: 40272 Kb
DPMI swap space available: 22332 Kb

Am I correct in assuming that this means that the compiler is installed
okay? 
(I noted that my HIMEM.SYS file resides in my WINDOWS directory and I so
I made that adjustment to my config.sys file.)

I copied the sample files to c:\whos.

Then I tried to compile itemtst1 and got a slew of Bad command or file
name messages scrolling down and then a bunch of lines referring to
itemtst1.cc: follwed by a number, 0, 7, 10, etc and then "undefined
reference to 'StockItem: :Display and other similar messages to numerous
to list here. and then finally I end up with the prompt C:\whos\normal>.

Obviously something is wrong. Can you help please? 

Thanks
