Just to add more fun, I noticed that there is a release candidate version of a somewhat newer version of gcc on the MingW web site...somehow I had not scrolled down far enough to see it.
The MingW site refers to it as being gcc-3.2.1, with c, c++, f77 and objective c enabled. It seemed to work OK on my standalone MingW, so I copied the tar file over to my c:\dev-cpp directory, and untarred it there as well. It seems to work well, I compiled my version checker, which confirmed the correct vintage, and a couple of other programs compiled OK.
Note, I was already using the gcc-3.2 version previously.
Doubt too many people care, but I did try to play around with the experimental gnat release, but I was not entirely successful.

One other little bit of trivia, which probably only affected me. When I did the above install on my laptop, where I had NOT done the copying of the bits directories, and was relying on having c:\mingw present, things stopped working. Once I did the world famous and respected Derek copy fix, things worked fine again.
One thing I forgot to mention above, the version with GNAT in it says it is a gcc-3.3 release.
