Subject:	need help...

	I installed the minimum djgpp package:
		- djdev110 (with the includes)
		- bnu22
		- gas22
		- gcc241
	in my 386DX-25 (80M HD with DoubleSpace), followed all environment settings
	to the letter, even set the tmp and paging environment variables to point
	to a TMP directory in an uncompressed drive (also host for the DoubleSpace
	drive) after trying them with a TMP directory in the compressed drive.  Tried
	it with smartdrv on and off, but everytime I try to compile any of the sample 
	programs, I get an error message at link time of the form: 
		"c:/gnu/bin/ld: unable to open file @h:/tmp/<filename>.gp"
	I suspected that the named temporary file was indeed created but was not 
	visible (for whatever reason) to ld, and sure enough when I did an
	"undelete /dos", in the h:/tmp directory, the named file was one of the
	deleted files.  It seems that the tempory file needed by ld gets deleted
	before linktime?  I know, it sounds stupid but hey, I spent all night last
	night trying to figure this one out.  :(
	Am I missing something?
