Subject: How do I get GCC working with OS/2 2.0?

    I have been playing around with this for a few weeks, and cannot 
seem to get a program running.  I *have* actually compiled a program, 
and gotten a .EXE file from it, but it does not produce any output.

    I am using the C++ Tutorial by Coronado Enterprises, but am only 
near the beginning.  What I wanted to do tonight was compile the 
CONCOM.CC program included with it, to get the output they said was 
generated (and to flex my GNU compiler).

    The program is attached, in case you need to see it (at the end).

    The commands I used were:

-------------
[D:\cptutor\source] gcc -c concom.cc

[D:\cptutor\source] collect -o concom2.s concom.obj

[D:\cptutor\source] gcc -c concom2.s

[D:\cptutor\source] link386 concom.obj concom2.obj

    I found these on comp.os.os2.programmer, and they *do* create an 
executable.  It doesn't produce any output, however.  

    What is it that I'm doing wrong?  Perhaps a flag?  The linker's 
warning seems to indicate that *something* may be wrong, but I can't 
find documentation anywhere.  Is my problem even *with* GCC?

    advTHANKSance for any assistance!
