A GUI for djgpp sounds very exciting, so I downloaded the software
and was eager to try it. However, before going any further I already
encountered some difficulties.
First, because .ARJ compression was used instead of .ZIP, I've had to
search around for an ARJ archiving program and learn it first.
Finding one was not an easy task.
Second, there is no documentation for this software at all! How is it
meant to be installed and executed? I got an "grSetMode" error when
executing 'sword.exe'. Why is that?
Thereafter I tried running 'setup.exe', which responded with a french
error message mentioning something about SETting envirnoment
variables.
If you can help me out here, I'll be glad to try it again.
Regards, Ron.
