I used, gcc joe.cpp -o joe.exe, ofcourse, but I still encountered problems. I remember the problem was that I downloaded the distribution that works with Win95 from the Zip picker, but I used an old version of pkunzip to unzip, so I didn't have long filenames. Fix: Download a distribution that doesn't use long filenames, or try Winzip :] HTH, - Lionel Brits "josiah_1" wrote in message news:000f01c0f868$00e70040$42a0059a AT pavilion...
