Well, actually I didn't download the files, but installed DJGPP from a CD,
which was included in C++ Book ("SAMS Teach yourself C++ in 21 Days"); the
installation program did everything by itself, so I assumed, that the
installation was done right, but obviously I'll have to download and install
everything by myself...strange though: The Stubify.exe was on the CD in a
zipped file, but wasn't installed by the setup program on my HD, also some
of the other files were not installed correctly...maybe the setup-program
just has a few bugs and I'll have to install it manually...
