I'm sure this question has been asked many times, but I didn't find my exact
problem in the archives.  Ok, I started using Djgpp way back when but
haven't touched in a long time.  Now I have XP and I'm aware of the
issues....but when I run gcc it says:

C:\>gcc
Fatal:  Error in DJGPP instalation
        Environment variable DJGPP point to file 'D:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV',
        which does not exist

However, I type "set" and DJGPP points to:

DJGPP=E:\My Stuff\Software\Programming\Djgpp

My old installation was in D:\DJGPP, but I renamed that directory.  I REM'd
out my autoexec.bat and set the environment variable through the advanced
system properties (and restarted my computer numerous times).  Now where in
the heck is it finding the DJGPP environment variable???  I also searched
through the registry and all my drives so see if it was getting set some
other way.....I'm stumped, how can the DJGPP environment variable still
point to the old place eventhough "set" says it points to the correct one?

Thanks.
