Eli, George, and others
In response to your two questions asking to clarify:

What I mean by hanging is it runs through it's process but seems to stop at cc1plus.  At the top of my DOS window it says what file it is running, it goes through a number of files but gets stuck at cc1plus.  It never gives me another prompt.  I have to kill the window and start again.

I downloaded everything in section 4.5 of the FAQ entitled What Files to Download? The ** files are the ones that I understand to be the important ones.

When I run:    go32-v2.exe
C:\>go32-v2.exe
go32/v2 version 2.0 built Aug 12 1996 22:27:23
Usage: go32 coff-image [args]
Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2 binaries as
 well as v1 binaries (old makefiles).  Put ahead of the old go32 in your PATH
 but do not delete your old go32 - leave it in the PATH after this one.
Set GO32_V2_DEBUG=y in the environment to get verbose output.

Meanwhile in my window title box it says "MS-DOS Prompt - cc1plus" and it won't give me another prompt.

Thank You,
