If the "set PATH" command is the only one in your AUTOEXEC it may be confused because you are appending %PATH% which will initially be empty. If this is the case you should be able to fix it by changing the line to set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN I don't think that this is it as the OS appears to be able to find its way to the BIN directory (to start up and report the error) but there may be some strange interaction going on. Null %PATH% is not a problem for me (Novell DOS 7 or PC DOS 6.3). Otherwise; Install a fresh copy of DJGPP.ENV or Make sure it is where it should be DIR C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV Is this a file of the correct size? Bernard -- Bernard P. Murray, PhD Dept. Cell. Mol.
