[snip] I installed DJGPP yesterday with no problems. In my system, Win95 (I had originally installed DOS 6.12 before I installed Win95) there are 2 autoexec.bat files, one for Dos and one for Win95 (in Win95 the Dos file is renamed to autoexec.dos) and BOTH must have the DJGPP environment variable, path to DJGPP\BIN, set. You only mention the Windows' autoexec.bat, maybe that's the problem ? In my system, RHIDE works in a Win95 dos-box and in straight Dos, selected from the Windows 95 startup Menu.
