Hangs, as in soft crash (you can kill it with ctrl-alt-delete),
or as in hard crash (you have to press Reset)? Do you see any
error messages when it hangs?

Make sure you have DPMI memory in the DOS box control panel set high
enough. The max Win95 allows you to select is 16MB, but you can type
in manually anything up to 64MB.

It looks like you're not finding the right cpp.exe because your PATH
is set wrong. It should contain "E:\DJGPP\BIN", not "E:\DJGPP". Also,
look on the directories that come before DJGPP\BIN to make sure they
don't have any programs that conflict with the DJGPP ones. (i.e.
make.exe, cpp.exe. cc1.exe, as.exe, ld.exe, etc.)
If this doesn't solve your problem, it would be helpful if you could
capture the output of 'gcc -v' using the 'redir' program that comes
with DJGPP. Even a partial listing (up to the point of the crash)
would help.
