cc1plus.exe converts C++ preprocessed to assembly language, or something close
to it. :) GCC tried running it but couldn't find it. It SHOULD be either in the
BIN directory if you're using an installation before 2.8x or some long and
annoying name in the LIB directory if it's version 2.8x or later. I assume it
unzipped into the LIB directory somewhere? You probably have an old version of
GCC which doesn't look there.

Nope, same as before. Just decompress with directories.

Since you say you've been using C for a while, you probably downloaded
gcc2721b.zip when you got it. If you did, you probably downloaded gpp281b.zip
when you got C++. These versions will conflict (as you have already seen). Erase
your current GCC2721B installation and get the latest version, OR download the
old version of GPP (use 2721b). I would re-install with 2.81 because of C++
improvements.

To erase the contents of a ZIP you downloaded, and if you have RM, you can do
this in the main DJGPP directory:

rm @manifest/zip_name_here.mft
rm @manifest/gcc2721b.mft

This ensures complete uninstallment and you can unzip without overwiting files.
