cc1plus is not meant to be run directly.  There's the compilation
driver called `gcc' that you should invoke; it will then call all the
compiler passes, including cc1plus, for you.

The gcc switches are explained in the on-line manual.  From the DOS
prompt type "info gcc invoking" and read there.  (You will need the
hypertext reader info.exe for this; if you don't have it installed,
download and install v2gnu/txi390b.zip.)

CPP is the preprocessor, you cannot compile with it.  Last time I
checked, to compile with Borland you say something like "bcc foo.cpp",
which in DJGPP is pronounced "gcc foo.cc".  The file v2/readme.1st,
available from the same place you got DJGPP, has a few examples of
compilation command lines; please read it.
