I'm running win98.   I finally got DJGPP working for a period of time....that's
the good part....the bad part is after rebooting, my computer went haywire and
could not find its win.com file along with the edit.exe dos file and a ton of 
*.vxd files.  I had to reinstall most of the computer's software.   Here is
exactly what i did prior to this incident:  Initially, I did the following
after installing DJGPP to get it working: 

In an ms-dos window i entered:
echo set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN >> c:\autoexec.bat
echo set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV >> c:\autoexec.bat

in the djgpp.env file i entered the following:
[rhide]
RHIDE_TYPED_LIBS_DJGPP.cc=stdcxx

LFN=y

After doing the above, DJGPP was working fine and i was very happy, so i
rebooted and was greeted with the friendly "Mostly-Shit-DOS" message: win.com
cannot be found or something  like that.  so....I changed directories to the
command folder, typed win and I was bombarded with *.vxd missing over and over;
I could not even enter windows in safe-mode.  Needless to say this is a bit
annoying and I would REALLY like any help i can get from anyone here who thinks
they can help!   Also, I'm completely confused by the existence of multiple
autoexec.bat files on one computer!  Please Please Please Please help me......I
really dont want my computer self-destructing again.  










Thanks,
Neotronica
