howdy!  I just downloaded gcc 2.4.1 and djgpp1.10 yesterday, and I'm trying to
get everything up and running.  I'm having a problem with aout2exe and the
other methods for combining go32/stub and my program into one executable file.
Here's an example of what's happening:

I compile my program, then copy a.out to a program named 'prog'
I run aout2exe : aout2exe prog
The resulting file, 'prog.exe', is a few k bigger t|han 'prog'
The program runs fine as long as 'prog' is not deleted.  When deleted, I get
   the standard 'usage:' message from go32 telling me I need to enter a file
   to run something.
If I type 'prog prog.exe' the program works fine, so the two files have been
   appended successfully.

I've also tried copying a.out to prog.exe, then copying stub.exe+prog.exe to
prog.exe in a different directory.  This doesn't work, as the executable still
looks for 'prog' w/o the .exe on it.  

Am I doing something wrong?  Missing a patch?  I'm running this on a 386sx-25
with 4 meg, 40 meg free disk space.  I'm also running dos6.0 with emm386
creating expanded memory, and DoubleSpace compressing my drive.  No math
co-pro.  Everything else seems to be running normally.  Thanks for any help!
