On this same note:

	Is there a program which takes in a gcc aout file and converts
	it to an EXE file without using go32 as a front end?

	I would like to run the programs I write on other machines
	without installing go32 and all of its environment variables.

You *need* go32 to run the a.out files though (well, you could write your
own extender from scratch, but that wouldn't be much fun).

As far as environment variables, the only ones you really need to run 
the resulting programs are:

go32tmp=c:/tmp   (to place paging file, though if not present TEMP and TMP 
                  will also be checked. If none present, current dir is used)
go32=emu path/to/387emulator driver path/to/graphics/driver gw xxx gh yyy

and these ONLY if you need 387 emulation, and/or using graphics.  If you're
not using any of these, you don't really need that variable.  And it will
default to 320x200x256 graphics if you are using graphics and don't define
anything in that area.

If what you mean, you really don't want to have to type 'go32 a.out' all the
time, use the aout2exe program, and just copy go32.exe along with the resulting
executable (making sure go32.exe is in the path somewhere, of course).

see aout2exe.exe which comes with djgpp.

	Thanks to all who replied about FSF's aout2exe.  I already
have that.  What I wanted is something that creates an exe file ( out of
a GCC aout format file ) that DOES NOT use go32.  aout2exe prepends a
call to go32 to the aout file.  In order to run program hello.exe
(compiled on machine X) on machine Y, I would need to install go32 on
machine Y.  That is something I want to avoid if at all possible.  

	Anyone know of anything that will do what I want?
