I am new to DJGPP, and I have some simple questions. 1. I just downloaded and installed DJGPP at home on a W98 machine. Everything seems to work like a charm "out of the box". My only complaint is the size of the .exe files: hello.c (about 60 bytes) produces a 100k+ hello.exe. Is this normal? Any way to reduce this size? 2. I did the same at the office, on a WinNT machine. gcc works (with the same large .exe), gxx is not recognized, but gpp is. The .exe files are enormous (300k+ for hello.cpp). More annoying, gpp finds several syntax or parsing errors in small programs that ran perfectly under TurboC. Finally, Rhide stubbornly refuses to work (bad command or filename). echo %PATH% and echo %DJGPP% yield the expected answers. What did I miss? Thank you for your help and patience, JP Grivet
