Sorry, totally wrong.  The extension for C++ with the GNU and
DJGPP compilers is .cc, .cxx or .C (note the capital C), .cpp 
isn't recognised (Borland C++ does require .cpp).  Alternatively 
you can specify the option -x c++, but that then compiles
all following files as C++.

The enum declaration has been in C for many years; the ANSI 
specification was ratified in 1989 (1990 for the ISO spec.)
but enum has been in most compilers for a lot longer than that.
