I have just downloaded and started using djgpp and I have a few questions, I
hope none of them seem to obvious, but I'm new to this so they might be.
First of all, although I seem to be able to compile straight 'C' programs
without problems, I am having trouble compiling C++ files.  When I run gcc,
I get the following message 'cannot exec cc1plus...' I do have cc1plus.exe,
it was unzipped to lib\gcc-lib\djgpp\2.81\  Is this where it is supposed to
be?

My second question is completely unrelated, I am trying to write a front-end
for a program but I do not know how to run one dos program from within my
'C' programs, nor how to pass parameters to them.  Can anyone help me here?
