Hello everybody.  I really appreciate DJGPP as my location (Guyana,
South America) and situation has forced me to learn all of my computer
programming and finite/discrete math over the internet and also to
acquire compilers from this medium (incidentally, does anyone know where
I can get reference materials for the Win32 API?).

I am currently having some difficulty with building c++ programs using
gcc.  Any perfectly working c++ program (built fine with gxx) fails to
build with gcc.  I keep getting the message: "Final Closure Error:  Bad
File Descriptor (EBADF)".  The problem is not with gcc itself, though,
because when I rename gxx to gcc the same problem occurs.  Also, this
problem 'usually' only occurs when I use the -o switch with gcc.

The reason I want to use gcc to compile c++ programs is that RHIDE can't
use gxx and builds with the -o switch and it's a pain doing all the work
manually from the c:> prompt.  I guess my final approach will be to
modify and recompile RHIDE.
