Yes.  One of the reasons why the FAQ mentions the full name of the 
package together with its zip file name is so you could figure this out 
in cases where zip files change their names.

README.1ST was written before GCC 2.95 was released.  What is now gpp.exe 
was called gxx.exe in previous versions, and the FAQ wasn't updated since 
then.

These are different versions of the C++ compiler.  In your case, always 
use gpp, and it will work okay.
