Firstly, please don't post in HTML, and please set your line length to
something reasonable (about 70 chars).

This is all good, except there shouldn't be a space after "PATH=", the
space will probably stop that command from taking effect.  

The result would be that C:\DJGPP\BIN is not added to the beginning of
the path and all the DJGPP programs will not be found.

Try fixing that and reboot.  Use the "set" command on its own, after
booting, to check that DJGPP and PATH have been set correctly.

I don't think this is normal.  Are you sure this is the same file?  If
so then something else is editing autoexec.bat for you.  It can be
seen that there is no space after "PATH=" so it should work now.
Also, C:\DJGPP\BIN is there twice, but this will not cause the
problems you see.

If you still have problems, please post the contents of Autoexec.bat,
and the output of the command "set".  Please do this as cut-and-paste,
rather than re-typing it.
