I'm currently working to install v2.7.1 under DOS (2.7.2 came out after I 
got 2.7.1 home). One thing you will need is a working port of SED - that 
might account for the bad command - you can get a DOS port from a djgpp 
site (I don't have the URL at hand but you should be able to find it). 
Assuming you get this working, I also found that some of the paths in the 
include files needed tweaking - maybe not in the newer version though.

The generated makefile includes a number of UNIX commands - I've had to 
make some substitutions here and there. Suffuce to say I'm learning a lot 
about makefiles!

The job's not done yet so I don't know how successful this whole effort 
will be. My kids are starting to get annoyed with me for always having 
the computer in use.

Here's a chance for me to get in a question - I assume I have to get the 
libg++ distribution as well if I want to compile C++ programs?
