We can't hold your hand through every single step of setting up the compiler because we can't be there with you personally to help. That's why the developers of DJGPP wrote comprehensive and detailed instructions specifically for that purpose. Go to http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html. Select your required functionality from the form, and it will tell you what files you need to download and give you the necessary links. You can also get the list of files from 'v2/readme.1st' from any SimTel mirror. Pay particular attention to the 'readme.1st' file, as it contains _precise_ instructions for downloading, installing, and configuring DJGPP. If you do not follow these instructions precisely, DJGPP will not work. If you have problems understanding the instructions, please describe what you don't understand, and we'll do our best to clarify them for you. Good luck! -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
