Simply put, I don't know of any apps offhand that need to be in a hardcoded (non-relative) directory layout. But some use environment variables (and/or settings in DJGPP.ENV). So check FDAUTO.BAT as well as DJGPP.ENV in case something might potentially break. Although, to be honest, it's easier to keep all DJGPP tools in the same (sub)directory since it simplifies upgrades: e.g. (from Bash) "cd /dev/env/DJDIR ; rm @manifest/grep253b.mft ; unzip /dev/c/tmp/ grep254b.zip". If you move stuff around, you'll have to search for it and update it even more manually than already. But the "which" command should find stuff on your path for you anyways if necessary. In short, do what you want, but if you stray too far, be sure you kept all the .ZIPs for reinstall !! ;-)
