gcc 2.2.2 guesses which sub-program to execute based on the filename extension. If you hand it a .s file, it will guess you want the assembler. If you hand it a .c file, it will guess you want the C compiler. If you hand it a .cc file, it will guess you want the C++ compiler. If you have other filename extension conventions, you can read the docs about how to use the -x option. If you really want to invoke the C++ compiler as 'g++', there's now a shell script which calls gcc with the -x options needed to compile a even a .c file as C++. Michael
