I thought a free C++ system would solve my problems when my old
(Borland) software was barred by the Computing Services. 
However, I have spent an endless amount of time trying to get the
required results, and am about to give up and go begging for
money to buy something that works.

I must say that to a busy want-some-software-that-works like me,
DJGPP is a nightmare - I eventually got the basic C & C++ with
emacs to work on several operating systems, but none of my
students could reproduce the system on theirs!!  Is there some
nice easy set of instructions that I have missed?

After much heartache and many wrong turnings caused by poor and
erroneous instructions I have ALMOST got a result for the minimal
Windows program.  I have eliminated all the error messages, but
now produce a "SYM" file instead of an executable!  I used to be
able to produce an executable that crashed, but I can't remember
how I lost it.

Anybody got any ideas for a harassed & short of funds lecturer?
