I'm probably not the best qualified to respond as I don't run
win95 but as I seem to be the quickest I'll try to help.

Try running
> gcc -Id:\djgpp\include filename.c

If that works but gives an error about crt0.o not being found
then dj is not finding the djgpp.env file.
the > setdjgpp d:\djgpp d:/djgpp command you used above is
unfamiliar to me- is it a batch file?
I used
set DJGPP=d:\djgpp\djgpp.env
in my autoexec.bat file and it works fine.

If this doen't work I'm sure the cavelry is on the way.
