Most likely cause: 3 words: long file names. "G++" is the name of an EXE
that has to be run, and the letter "+" is not valid in standing naming
conventions.  DJGPP programs can't use NT long filenames because Microsoft
changed the way these are handled from 95/98. Of course, the DOS prompt
itself is part of WinNT and can access longfilenames fine.

Possible solutions:
1) If you have a program called GXX in your bin directory, modify the
makefile to use "GXX" instead of "G++". You can copy G++.EXE to GXX.EXE if
you want.
2) Use the standard GCC command and add -lstdcx to the link phase. You will
probably have another long filename issue when "STDCX" and "STDCXX" collide,
so read the FAQ for those details.

Yet another reason we all hate Windows NT. 95 is good, 98 is ok, NT has it's
up-points, but DOS isn't one of them.
