First, don't run CWSDPMI (you don't have to, every DJGPP program will 
load it automatically).

Second, please tell what drive letter is the CD where you put DJGPP.

Third, please post the exact text of the message printed when go32-v2.exe 
crashes, complete with all the registers and stack traceback.  This data 
is crucial for understanding the problem.

Fourth, if you copy cwsdpmi.exe and go32-v2.exe to your hard disk, does 
this prevent go32-v2 from crashing?

What happens if you run gcc in a directory on your hard disk?

Which exceptions?  Same ones, or different ones?  E.g., I hope that when 
you run under Windows, you don't load CWSDPMI, right?

In short, please provide as much details as you possibly can.

Why not djdev202.zip?  v2.01 is not maintained anymore.
