I'm trying to compile some stuff I wrote using BC4.5 using DJGPP and I'm
running into problems with enumerated types and the ++ and --
operators.  basically I've got something like this

enum alpha {a, b, c, d, e, f};

in my header and when I try something like:

alpha letter = a;
a++;

I get an error saying no postincrement operator defined or something
along those lines.  I'm somewhat familiar with C++, but I've never
overloaded any operators because with borland it automatically
overloaded the enumerated types.  Any help with this would be greatly
appreciated.  thanx!
