I got : Reading specs from c:/djgpp/lib/specs  gcc version 2.95.1 19990816 (release) _ c:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe -o hello.exe c:/djgpp/lib/crt0.o -Lc:/djgpp/lib -Lc:/djg_ c:/djgpp/bin/stubify.exe -v hello.exe _ theres nothing about bad commands or file names. Also at Eli suggestion I input gcc -v -o helloa.exe hello.cpp and got alot of text, no mention of bad commands or file names. that I can see. I would jcopy the contents of the dos box but I don't know how- theres so much text it doesnt fit into a window and won't scroll. How do I copy the entire contents of the dos box into the clipboard ?
