Well, I have found the problem.  I *knew* that I had compiled with DJGPP
under DESQview/X before -- and I proved that by re-compiling a "hello
world" program under DV/X with no problems.

However, my other application (X/News) was hanging the system.  After I
saw that one would compile and another wouldn't, it occurred to me that
it was a matter of memory.  My DOS window was set for only 1MB of expanded
memory.

I bumped that up to 4MB (and then down to 3MB) and my X/News application
will now compile under DESQview/X with DJGPP 1.08.  Thanks to Stephen
Turnbull for replying to me, but I had already found the solution.

Kind of a bummer, though.  I have to suck down nearly half of my available
RAM in one window just to do a DJGPP compile.  Oh, well, the ability to
compile X clients more than makes up for that, I guess.
