For a basic C++ installation, you need, in addition to the C files, v2gnu/gpp280b.zip and v2gnu/lgpp280b.zip. This assumes that you got gcc280b.zip when you got the C components; if you got gcc2721b.zip, you need gpp2721b.zip and lgp271b.zip, respectively. The two versions are _not_ compatible with each other. Once you have the files, unzip them like you did the other DJGPP components, and you're set to go. I should note that, because gcc 2.8.0 is distributed with some filenames longer than 8+3, if you want a totally clean installation you MUST follow the instructions in chapter 8.2 of the DJGPP FAQ to disable numeric tails in Windows 95. After this, you are set to compile C++, as long as you remember to link the C++ libraries (either by appending "-lstdcxx" to your command line or using 'gpp' instead of 'gcc'). hth! -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
