I'm not sure if it is Windows 95 that is causing the problem because I've
never used DJGPP under it.
And CPU speed is definatly not an issue because it runs fine on my
386(big-ic) *8-)

You mentioned that you have DJGPP installed in the C:\ceph\prog\djgpp
directory.  Have you made sure that any of the parts of DJGPP V1.0 have
been deleted off from your system?

Also, I think it is recommended in the readme files to install DJGPP in
the C:\DJGPP directory.
You may still be able to run DJGPP from the C:\ceph\prog\djgpp
though.....

First, open your autoexec.bat file and insert the line:

> SET DJGPP=C:\ceph\prog\djgpp\djgpp.env

Then, using a ASCII editor (such as MS-DOS's edit or Window's NOTEPAD),
open the file DJGPP.ENV.

One of the first lines of the file should read something like this:

DJDIR=%:/>DJGPP%

Making sure that you don't put extra spaces in (or at the end) and not
removing anything but the string "DJGPP",
enter in the string "CEPH/PROG/DJGPP" between the ">" and the last "%".

Please note that I have not tried this myself as I installed my copy of
DJGPP in the C:\DJGPP directory.  *8-)

Hope this helps.....
