I've also had this problem and when I posted a similar question was told =
me
to use th -frtti switch that solved the problem (well actually I had to =
add
the include file <std/typeinfo.h> as well in my prog. before the include =
of
<iostream.h> to stop the compiler complaining). But still I think that
djgpp exception support is not fully implemented and that we'll have to
wait the next release.
