I am having some problems using djgpp. Can anyone point out to me what I
am doing wrong and what I can do to fix the problem(s)?

I downloaded DJ Delorie's GCC port to Dos (djgpp) and installed it
on my machine. I also installed all the bugfixes upto the fourth bugfix.
I was unable to run the batch files which came with the maintainence releases.
This was because the "ar" program could not run. The error messages produced 
are included in this file.

The installation was done according to the procedure specified in the readme
file that came with djgpp. I have been unable to use the compiler. The machine 
configuration and the error messages are shown below.

If the current version will not run on my 386 machine, are there any older
or newer versions which will? 

Thank you for any help.
