A couple of days back I bought "SAMS Teach yourself C++ in 24 hours" by
Jesse Liberty and proceeded to load the DJGPP compiler. I read what I
thought was relevant information from DJGPPfaq and Readme. I then typed in
<gxx -o cxxprog.exe cxxprog.cc> at the C:\>. I got the message: gcc.exe:
cxxprog.cc: no such file or directory. I typed <dir cxxprog.*> at the DOS
prompt, there were no cxxprog files.

Thinking this problem had something to do with my operating system (I have
windows NT on my computer), I deleted the DJGPP compiler file, downloaded
pkunzip (my computer came with Winzip) from Pkware and proceeded to download
DJGPP for DOS from delorie.com. This time when I type <pkunzip -d
d:\tmp\djdev203.zip> at C:\DJGPP> for example, I get the message "the name
specified is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file".

How should I proceed?

George.
