I having difficulty installing DJGPP. Since I am relatively new to
dealing with
non-windows based applications any help in this direction would leave me

eternally grateful. The files are in a directory called 'djgpp' on my C
drive. Within this directory is another called 'bin' in which a file
called 'djgpp.env' resides. From what I gather using MSDOS editor this
file contains the paths for the nessecary C program files. The readme
file suggests editing 'autoexec.bat' to include a path to this file, a
la:

 set  DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
 set  PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%

and then running a file 'go32-v2' (also in C:\DJGPP\BIN), without
arguments?

The file 'go32-v2' runs, and so presumably the path has been altered but

I am unable to access any of the DJGPP commands from the MSDOS command
prompt.

If you can shed any light on my problem an e-mail would be greatly
appreciated, as I would like my programming career to commence ASAP.
