Notepad has an annoying habit of renaming your files.
Use RHIDE, Robert Hoehne's integrated development
environment for DJGPP. Get it where you got DJGPP.

Did Notepad happen to rename your file myfile.cxx.txt?
Oh, by the way, .cpp is the most common extension for
C++ source files.

RHIDE is better. It's an integrated development environment
especially designed for DJGPP.

> Should I save this file under any particular directory in DJGPP?

No. However, before you run DJGPP, you should change the
Current Folder to wherever the source file is located. In my
case it's c:\personal\djgames\dosarena\foo.cpp, so I would type
cd \personal\djgames\dosarena

You really shoupd put DJGPP before Windows on your path.
PATH C:\djgpp\bin;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\Command;C:\;%PATH%

It should be C:\Windows\TEMP so that the disk cleanup programs
can pick it up.

Never seen winpmt before. Anyone know what it is?
