Thank you I don't know which version of the FAQ you are reading but section one titled "If You Are In a Hurry" says to use gxx for C++, as does the readme.1st file that you should have as part of your installation. If you are intending to use DJGPP as a teaching tool then it strongly recommended that you read both these files as you will probably be asked many of these questions yourself! :) Also, it would definitely be worth getting gcc 2.95 as this has better support for the latest C++ standard. You don't need any special installation program. Use the ZIP picker at www.delorie.com then follow the instructions in readme.1st to install. If you want to start your students out on the right track then make them compile with -Wall -W -ansi. Note: with 2.95 you should use gpp not gxx. -- george
