As you may know, Windows Me no longer has the "Restart in MS-DOS Mode" or
"Command prompt only" options. No big problem, I thought, until I tried to
compile a DJGPP program in a Windows Me DOS-box. The problem is, it no
longer processes the config.sys or autoexec.bat, so the DJGPP environment
variable doesn't get set.
Since it also doesn't have an NT-like option for setting global environemnt
variables, it seems there's no way of setting the environment other than
manually typing in "SET DJGPP=..." every time I open a new DOS box.
Has anyone managed to find a way round this?
