Brief answer: Use the SYMIFY utility - while this information is on the
screen, type 'symify <exe_filename>' and it will put function names after
the traceback EIPs. If you also compile your code with the -g option (to
gcc) it will also tell you which source file and line number each refers 
to.

Places with explanations: The DJGPP FAQ list, currently in version 2.10.
This answers almost every conceivable question about DJGPP. You can
download it (recommended) from the v2 directory of the place you got DJGPP
from (the filename is faq210b.zip) or online from this URL:

http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq.html

As DJ Delorie's server is connected through a modem, it would be better
for you and the server if you download the FAQ from somewhere else, e.g.
any simtelnet mirror.
