Try using ``subst'' to assign a drive letter to the subdir containing
the DJGPP.env file. In this case:

subst g: C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\Tyler\Programs\DJGPP

This line should appear before the PATH reassignment:

set PATH=C:\;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND[; ... ]
subst g: C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\Tyler\Programs\DJGPP
set PATH=G:\BIN;%PATH%

It works for me on Win98. If it still doesn't work, try adjusting
the environment size by setting SHELL to the appropriate value in your
config.sys file. I use a value 2048 for environment size. Try a larger
one (4096) if it still doesn't work. Hope this helps.
