Even before this message I had thought of reinstalling gcc, and did. I still couldn't compile "Hello, world", which I consider a little embarassing, but not without precedent (on one of my systems, a Windows box, I have compilers and interpreters for 9 (never realised how many) different languages, and only the qbasic interpreter, that came with MSDOS 5.0, and compiler for turing work properly (I think)). I have thought of upgrading the kernel, but I want to first figure out how to connect this system to my Windows box (the only machine with access to the network, and the internet, and I'm not allowed to install Linux on it) to make file transfers easier (all my file transfers are by floppy). Of course, being a Windows machine with typical Windows problems, that system is difficult to reach (SLIP & PLIP cannot be done for various reasons, and neither can ethernet). Anyway, I have the output here. The output was the same both before and after the reinstallation of gcc, so there is only this one file. All of the text except for expr: syntax error was on stdout. Those lines were on stderr. Thanks for any help, Seneca seneca@slemish.com
