All those people who are ``having the same problem''--why don't you
look into the FAQ?  The answer is right there, staring at you.  Heck,
even README.1ST explains how to compile C++ programs and live to tell
the story.

Please, people, do read the documentation!  Especially when you have
some kind of trouble.  It might well be that the docs provided by
Microsoft is useless, but please do NOT take that frustration along
with you when you come to DJGPP: we *do* treat documentation
seriously.

This is all explained in README.1ST, in the section called
"Compilation", of all the possible names ;-).  It is also explained
again in the very first section of the FAQ list.
