DOS  does not equant cmd.exe in Windows NT/2K/XP.

You are not running DOS.

Have a read of the docs that come with the apps and see if  they need
ansi.sys or use ansi for screen output and if they do then do a google
search for Xp and ansi.sys and setup your cmd.exe shortcut properties
to sue it.

You should have gotten the following:-
	D204 D:\DJ204>gcc
	cc.exe: no input files

Make sure thwDJGPP and GCC version as well as the other exes are 2K/XP
compatible. Please goto the following URLs or info on getting the
updates

Nocomment as this is not DJGPP related from what I can see.
>I compiled a hello_work app using djgpp, nothing gets displayed.
It is C++ or C? You do not give enough details about the failure or
your program. Please give more info so people can help. 
I have not seen any output to screen problems with the standard hello
world app in C++ or C frrom any version of DJGPP under XP if you can
produce the executable. Even old DJGPP 2.02 executables output text
okay on XP, but that does not mean that they can do any file i/o or
other complex work.
>I have another machine, a almost identical P4, everything works great....
So what's the difference?
>Has anyone seen this before?
No.
