Thanks to those who answered. I'm now one step toward success.
However, I'm afraid I'm still stumped by the next 'results'.
Basically when running the above program, djgpp displays the error 
message:

...creating [filename].exe
Error: c:\djgpp\ld.exe: cannot open -lstdcx: no such file/directory
There were some errors

Can anyone enlighten me ?????
Thanks again.
Phil.
