Since I have never heard of MIX power C, can I assume that what you
are trying to get is a listing of all the messages gcc prints when
it compiles your program?  In that case, you simply need to redirect
its output to a file.  However, be warned that because gcc writes
to stderr, you can't save the messages with a simple DOS '>'.  Use
the 'redir' program that comes with DGJPP like so:

redir -o file.lst -eo gcc .... myfile.c

'-o' tells redir to put stdout in 'file.lst', and '-eo' tells it to
put stderr there too.  You can also use a 'smart' DOS shell that is
capable of redirecting stderr.

Finally, you can also use an editor that saves error messages and
allows you to move to their locations in your program(s) in the
fashion of Turbo Debugger.  GNU Emacs and RHIDE are examples of two
such editors.  Actually, RHIDE is a complete, user-developed IDE
for DJGPP.  It's still in beta though, so beware of bugs.

Pointers to these tools can be found in the FAQ (faq201b.zip).
