i downloaded djgpp and i want to know how to use it to turn files with the .c 
extension into files with the .exe extension.  i tried to use the make program ic the /bin directory,
but when i try to run the .exe file, i get a message that tells me that the file isn't COFF, so
i used the exe2coff program in the /bin directory to try to turn the .exe file in to a COFF, but
i get a message that says that a.out isn't appended to the .exe file. if somebody could tell me what
that means, and what i could do about it, please do. and please email me at: josh ames<samesone AT leonard DOT polaristel DOT net>.
thnx.
