You are invoking the compiler in a way that it overwrites the source with 
the program it produces.  It's a small wonder that you get all kinds of 
weird messages.

The correct way to do this is like this:

	gxx -o c:\mything.exe c:\mything.cpp

In other words, the -o switch needs a file name after it which says where 
to put the compiled program.

Please read the file v2/readme.1st that's available from the same placve 
you got DJGPP.  It explains how to invoke the compiler correctly.
