I'm pretty new to C and I am just barely more than a user of
Unix, so I am not all that familiar with the tricks needed
to get the unix ports to work with OS/2.

I have a generic 386/33, 64k/8meg/65megHPFS.

I am taking an introductory course in C and I wanted to get
some kind of package running on my home machine so I wouldn't
have to go to the lab or wait for CPU time on the Unix 
machines. Initially I FTP'd the gcc201.zoo package and
installed it. It didn't work. All I got was SYS 1808
exception 0006, whether I used my own code or the "hello
world" sample included in the package. The fact that I 
couldn't look at the documentation killed the "if all else
fails, read the manual" idea. I didn't have all that much
time to spend on something I didn't understand, so I burned
it off my drive.

I then downloaded the EMX package and got that to work, but
I've had an inclination toward fiddling with C++ and I got
brave enough to try again. I FTP'd gcc21.zoo and installed
it. Same damn thing. The installation docs are not especially
informative. The pathnames are all in the config.sys.

Thanks in advance

andy
