The best way to set up DJGPP on Windows ME is to customize the
Properties of the DOS box so that when the DOS box opens, it runs a
batch file.  To this end, click on the Properties button in the DOS
box's toolbar, then click on the "Program" tab, and type something
like this into the "Cmd line" property:

  C:\windows\command.com /e:2000 /k c:\djgpp\bin\setdjgpp c:\djgpp c:/djgpp

Klick on "Apply", then "OK".  After that, close the DOS box and open
it again--it should now have the DJGPP variable set (type "set" to
make sure).

The batch file setdjgpp.bat comes with djdev203.zip.  If you need, you
could edit it to add a line like this:

  set PATH=c:\djgpp\bin;%PATH%

The above assumes that you unzip DJGPP *.zip files in the c:\djgpp
directory; if not, change the file names above as appropriate.

That's it!

Btw, in case you don't find the DOS box: Windows ME hides it in the
second level of menus open with START, I think it's under
Programs->Accessories or something.
