MS-DOS's Command shell has several ways to alias:
1. Check out DOSKey. That's your 4DOS or bash-style way
to alias a command.
2. Make a one line batch file, named G++.BAT, that reads

(change gpp to gxx in old versions of gpp)
into your \DJGPP\BIN folder. This will call GPP whenever you
3. Make a Macintosh-style alias. Create a Windows 9x
shortcut to gpp.exe or gxx.exe and rename it g++
