I apologize for possibly asking a typical newbie question....
I have searched the mailing list archive and found several
similar questions, but not one answer.

I have installed the cygnus-2.7.2-960712 x86 release 
on a Windows95 Pentium  System.
 A simple "Hello world" program that uses streams
compiles and links without any warnings, but produces the 
following runtime error:

(test1.exe 1008) In cygwin_except_handler
(test1.exe 1008) Exception trapped!

Trying the same with printf() instead of 'cout <<' works fine.
I admit that I am pretty new to both C++ and gnuwin32, so I may
have looked something stupid. 
I keep getting similar errors with C programs compiled with gcc.

All these programs compile and work fine on a Sun with G++ 2.6.3

Another thing: I have seen that previous emails refer to "demo"
programs that could/could not be compiled. Are the part of the 
gnuwin32 package (one.zip ... fize.zip)? The were not included
in the package I got.


I'll highly apreciate any help on this!
