Please guys and gals, before you post your reply, take a moment to test 
it and be sure that you don't post incorrect info, especially when the 
question is from an obvious new user of DJGPP.

The above reply is INCORRECT!  In DJGPP v2.0, when you say

	gcc -o prog prog.c

gcc generates *both* `prog' and `prog.exe'; `prog' is a COFF file and
`prog.exe' is a DOS executable.  If you tell "-o prog.exe", only .exe is
generated.  (This is different from v1.x, where producing .exe was always
a separate step.)
