Thanks to all who contributed to make this day a better programming day. No longer am I getting
installation errors.

1.) I removed the former directory (E:/dev/djgpp) to just under root (E:/djgpp). [BTW, My entire
organization for that drive is shot now, but it's working.]

2.) I looked for cpp.exe. It wasn't in "/bin", but in "/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/2.951/". My test compile
ran fine & resulted as expected.

3.) I thought (1st sign of a problem) that "/dev" would only matter for a Unix installation since
its root is just "/". And, I believe, that "/dev" is a standard directory on Unix whereas Win*
doesn't come with that as standard. There was never an indication (at least to my mind) that it was
generic for ALL OSes. (Perhaps the assumption was that "if it was specific to an OS, we'll specify
it.") 

Thanks Again to All & Have a Happy DJGPP!
