This is exactly what causes this problem. Whatever you do, don't try to
set-up another compiler in the same path as GCC. Generally BC/TC
doesn't use cpp, but rather an internal preprocessor. However, you
should test this by compiling a program with the compiler after renaming
its copy of cpp, ie ren cpp.ece tcpp.exe, before deleting, or you
can just leave it renamed if you like. I wonder, is it possible to
get the ENV file to have entried for programs like this to it to prevent
path mix-up's in the future?
