My first guess would be that you didn't install the C++ compiler from
the gpp281b.zip archive.  Look into your DJGPP tree and see if you
have a program called cc1plus.exe there; if not, unzip gpp281b.zip.

If the above doesn't help, add -v to the compilation command line and
see what program does the compiler try to invoke immediately before
the "Bad comamnd or file name" message--this is the missing one.
