Mr. Delorie,

A year ago I let you know that I had built a little IDE for DJGPP,
intended for beginners, called Lookout.  My students are using it now.
A problem that we're having is that the IDE gets confused sometimes
due to the use of DOS variables.  Windows, Novell, DOS... it's hard
to get them to talk to each other consistently.  It would be much,
much simpler and smoother, if DJGPP didn't need to use DOS variables.
Is it possible to recompile DJGPP so that it gets its information in
some other way, such as a Windows file or even hard-coded for this
particular application?

Much obliged for your help.  A  lot of students, who are trying to
use it in intro classes, would appreciate it, too!
