Then again, it's easy enough to add the actual dir (e.g. c:\djgpp\bin)
in front of the PATH setting in msconfig. It does mean you need to
adjust this setting if you move your DJGPP tree, but that shouldn't
happen too often anyways.

Unfortunately, it isn't quite so straightforward. It's a separate
application (msconfig.exe) that's not really advertised (I'm not sure
it's on the start menu by default, and if it is, it's secreted away
under the system tools). And you still need to reboot (all it really
does is manage autoexec.bat for you). *sigh*
I'm inclined to move back to 98SE anyway; WinME is unstable as heck
(guess what that last word was before DJ's language filter blocked
this message :-) ).
Eli, aside from the ntvdm thing, is Win2K suitable for DJGPP use (with
an LFN TSR to provide decent filename support)?
