    You can copy gxx.exe to g++.exe, but this doubles the disk space
necessary. If you use a good shell (that is, NOT command.com), it might
have an "alias" feature. (4DOS and bash do). Or you can create a 2k stub
called g++.exe that runs gxx.exe . If you have the port of GNU
fileutils, you can use ln -s gxx.exe g++.exe, as you would do in UNIX.
If not, you can create one anyway, just look at the FAQ for "symbolic
links".
