   I am posting this here with the hope that you might be able to
help.  Does anyone know if it is possible to install the GNU compiler
on a IBM PC running MS-DOS 4.01.  The machine is a 80286 processor.
I have followed the instructions supplied with the compiler for
setting up on PCs but they only tell you about the 80386.  The
compiler tries to work but hangs the machine.  When I got it to
display what it was doing, it was looking down paths that did not
exist. I have set the paths in the autoexec.bat as instructed. I know
the source code I was compiling was ok as I compiled it on another
machine at work using another compiler.
  

  Any info would be of great help, particularly email as I don't often
read this group.



Thanks in advance
