Your help is greatly appreciated if you can help me
over these little issues:

I have DJ 2.95.3 installed....

Autoexec.batch contains:

@PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;c:\bin;c:\4dos;
@set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
@set LIBRARY_PATH=C:\DJGPP\LIB
@set C_INCLUDE_PATH= C:\DJGPP\INCLUDE
@set GRXFONT=G:\GRX20\fonts
@set GRX20DRV=VESA gw 800 gh 600
@set LFN=Y 

Now, inside that DJGPP.ENV is:
...
[cpp]
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=%/>;CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH%%DJDIR%/lang/cxx;%DJDIR%/include
C_INCLUDE_PATH=%/>;C_INCLUDE_PATH%%DJDIR%/include
OBJCPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=%/>;OBJCPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH%%DJDIR%/include;%DJDIR%/lang/objc
OBJC_INCLUDE_PATH=%/>;OBJC_INCLUDE_PATH%%DJDIR%/include;%DJDIR%/lang/objc

[gcc]
COMPILER_PATH=%/>;COMPILER_PATH%%DJDIR%/bin
LIBRARY_PATH=%/>;LIBRARY_PATH%%DJDIR%/lib
....

QUESTION:

THEN why the heck am I not able to compile any C++ sources UNLESS I
move the required   "iostream.h, etc." header files into the root of
\djgpp\include   directory?  Which, after doing so, sources compile
and produce executables?

I do have the following in my DJ 2.95.3 installation:

\DJGPP\include\lang\cxx

I trust that was supposed to be simply:  "\DJGPP\land\cxx"   correct?
I do not find that to be intuitive...since, afterall, these are
INCLUDE FILEs !!!!    COMMENTS PLEASE as to why it was given
its very own special directory?   C++ is an EXTENSION-only to GCC??

WHERE IS IT EXPLAINED (which Readme, or FAQ file please)

that  "cc1.exe"  should be __renamed__  to just   "cc.exe"
and you __must__ rename  "cpp0.exe"  to    "cpp.exe" and place it
in the \DJGPP\BIN\  directory before C++ projects can be compiled?

WHAT EXACTLY is  "cc1plus.exe"  expected to ever be used for?
WHERE is it explained please?

THANKS
