While i'm still finding the whole DJGPP um, 'suite' to be a brainfull, i think 
i've gotten the hang of most of it (I'm absolutily not new to either windows 
or dos, or C :) i still have a few questions:

(BTW thanks for the umpteen messages about -lstdcx & rhide, didn't even need 
to ask... missed it in the faq too...)

1. Is RHIDE 1.4.7 stable enough to use? I would love to have the latest 
version but i don't know hoew buggy the beta is.

2. You're not supposed to use libg++ anymore, yet 'gxx' requires it. Solution: 
Don't use 'gxx' ?

3. LibStdCxx seems to have less than spectacular documentation. I know how to 
find a referance on STL and IOstreams (Which is what the faq said, i think), 
but what about the several dozen headers in lang/cxx that don't seem to 
involve either of those packages? (I.E. IOstreams donsen't take up many 
headers i don't think, and i've found a lot of odd ones that arent listed in 
the SGI/STL library information)

Thanks for any help, sorry for any rambling...
