This is my first cry for help.  I have been trying to load a
program which compiles C into executibles for a HP48 calculator
called HP48xGCC.  Binaries of HP48xGCC exist for Linux and Win95,
but not for DJGPP.  So, in my newbie innocence, I thought I would
try.  At minimum, I will learn more along the way - and I've
learned WAY more than I thought possible.  It's genned up a list
of questions.  I'm hoping someone can help.
     The little documentation I've found on HP48xGCC says I need
Gnu GCC & HP48xGCC source and I've got it.  Then GCC is
configured (?), patched (?), and then recompiled (with DJGPP GCC)
to produce xgcc.
1)   When I downloaded gcc-2.7.2.1.tar.gz (from
WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU/SYSTEMS/GNU), it ended up on my lowly
486DX/33 (8 Megs) machine as gcc-2_7_.gz.  I then unzipped with
WINZIP (under Win3.11) after it ask for a file name extension,
which I gave *.tar.  Boom! There were all the files ( with long
names) and directory/file structure.  And when I EXTRACTED to
C:djgpp/gnu it did so, gladly truncating file names along the
way.  Caused some files with repetitive long names to be over
written and lost (ie cpp.info-1 became cpp.inf and was
overwritten by cpp.info-2, cpp.info-3, etc).  Looking in FAQ
22.14 "Long Filenames Don't Work" it talks about Win95, but not
for DOS/DJGPP.  How do I make sure that LFNs remain and are not
truncated?  Do the LFNs actually exist even though I can't see
them (with DIR)?  Also FAQ says to use DJTAR to open ".tar.gz"
archives, but what to do when the download renames the file (ie
to gcc-2_7_.gz)?  I have found another program UNTAR.EXE but it
also seems to truncate and hung on my machine (I think?)  What's
a newbie to do?
2)   Not knowing what to do, I ran GZIP -d -N gcc-2_7_.gz and
sure enough it exploded the file (from 7 Meg) into
gcc-2_7_."blank"; it stripped the extension and left me with ONE
huge file (28 Meg) and not a clue.
3)   Maybe this is all the long way around because I haven't even
started to configure, patch, or compile.  Does HP48xGCC.exe exist
for DJGPP or can the Win95 version be converted?
4)   I did try to compile DJGPP gcc-272s.zip (not realizing I
needed the Gnu source) and I hit some errors: [Error 1] and
[Error -1].  Where can I find a listing of error descriptions?
(for future use- no doubt)
5)   Is there a general prescription for how to adapt Gnu
programs to DJGPP?

Enclosed is ENVIRN.LST, GO32 output, AUTOEXEC. BAT, and
CONFIG.SYS.

To anyone who can help; many thanks.  Lastly, thanks to DJ for
the entire project.   Go Well-  Bob Peterson
