I forgot something!

I also noticed that during unzipping of the distribution files, 
it wanted to create a file called g++.exe. Pkunzip would not extract
this ("Cannot Create g++.exe!") because MSDOS will not allow you to have
a file with the + character in the name. So I used the win95 machine to
rename it to gpp.exe. I think my problem might be caused by somebody
looking for g++, but that seems very illogical for a DOS port of
something to be looking for a file that it will never find (since a file
by that name cannot exist.)

And, yes, I *do* have %DJGPP% defined, the C compiler and libs work.
C++ *compilation* works fine AFAIK, but the minute I include any part of
the C++ libs everything explodes..

using the gcc -v option, I got the regular notes... "searching" and
autodependencies. Then once it gets to "G++" or whatever, it reads the
disk and never stops. It's doing something. 

DOes anyone know what's going wrong? I'm running it on a Compaq 386/33
laptop with 4mb ram and dos 6.2
