	I found (the hard way) that DJGPP comes with GCC 2.7.2.1 which is 
VERY outdated... DJGPP does C, GCC does C++.. However, GCC is buggy 
(and RHIDE has problems with some C++ code as well.) I am currently 
using PGCC which has been released for DOS and runs MUCH nicer than 
the GCC version provided with DJGPP.. Also, I find that GCC 
development is way too slow so I decided to write my own String, File,
LList libraries. If you are interested in help or have any more 
questions, feel free to contact me.
