Westford MA. Lines: 33 Hi Netlanders, Thanks very much for the responses to my original problem that appears to be related to having a file named "test.cpp". I forgot to include that I did try different extensions to the source file. I remember that they didn't work, but didn't write down the error printout (OOPS). I just tried it on my machine and this is what I get out of a compile attempt now: e:\gcc test.cc E:\USR\LOCAL\BIN\GCC.EXE: Program cpp got fatal signal 2. e:\ Once again all I'm doing is trying to compile the following: main() { cout << "Hello\n"; } Also, my machine is a 386SX with 4MB of memory running COMPAQ MSDOS 3.31. Thanks again for the response, and hopefully you have an answer for this problem. Bob Getz bobg@westford.ccur.com
