The best way to set up DJGPP on Windows ME is to customize the Properties of the DOS box so that when the DOS box opens, it runs a batch file. To this end, click on the Properties button in the DOS box's toolbar, then click on the "Program" tab, and type something like this into the "Cmd line" property: C:\windows\command.com /e:2000 /k c:\djgpp\bin\setdjgpp c:\djgpp c:/djgpp Klick on "Apply", then "OK". After that, close the DOS box and open it again--it should now have the DJGPP variable set (type "set" to make sure). The batch file setdjgpp.bat comes with djdev203.zip. If you need, you could edit it to add a line like this: set PATH=c:\djgpp\bin;%PATH% The above assumes that you unzip DJGPP *.zip files in the c:\djgpp directory; if not, change the file names above as appropriate. That's it! Btw, in case you don't find the DOS box: Windows ME hides it in the second level of menus open with START, I think it's under Programs->Accessories or something.
