These are almost identical versions of the same program which come with 
both of these packages.  It is not important which of them do you keep 
(cxxfilt is almost unused by most people, anyway).

These are two different programs which unfortunately go by the same 
name.  Their purpose, however, is the same, so again, you can only keep 
one of them.  In your case, I suggest to keep the one which came with
gpp281b.zip.

These problems have nothing to do with your *real* problem (the one with 
`cpp').

Please read the file README.DJGPP which comes with gcc281b.zip, and check 
whether you installed the package as it says.

If nothing helps, add -v to the compilation command line and post here 
everything that's printed by the compiler.
