The environment variables are lines in your autoexec.bat file beginning in
"SET..."

You need "SET DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV" in your autoexec.bat file, along
with "SET PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%;" Where "C:\DJGPP\" is the directory in
which everything is installed. If you want Long File Name support you also
need "SET LFN=y".

You shouldn't need to change djgpp.env - you can use it to remove the need
for the "SET LFN..." statement, but it is not recommended; and you should
tweak it a bit if you use RHIDE and C++. Otherwise, it's reccommended that
you leave it well alone.

Please explain what problems you are having exactly. If you are running it
in a dos box in Windows 95/98/NT, make sure that the dos prompt is in a
window (press ALT+ENTER if not), click on the dragbox icon on the bar at the
top, highlight the command line you used and the error messages it produces,
then click on the copy icon. Paste that into your e-mail message. This
allows us to understand what's going wrong and to provide more detailed
instructions. If you are presented with an error message, please copy it
exactly.
