  Hi.. I'm sorry to bother you, but I am just starting out trying to learn C++. It's always been a dream of mine to make simple games for my own enjoyment, and I don't think gaining a new skill could be a bad thing anyway. I was looking around for a freeware or shareware compiler to get started, and I read some good reviews of DJGPP, so i decided to try it out. I used the .zip picker form and downloaded and installed it as per the instructions (I believe), but for some reason the file djpgg.env, as referred to the in autoexec.bat modifications, is nowhere to be found. This makes RHIDE and possibly all of it impossible to use. RHIDE advises me to look at the FAQ and readme files, but I didn't see any information about which .zip contains djgpp.env, or what to do if it is not present. This is a bit frustrating, as I can't really start learning much if I can't even get the compiler to function. 
Here is a list of the .zips i downloaded and unzipped using WinZip (which support long filenames, as far as I know):
unzip32.
v2/copying.dj              
v2/djdev203.zip            
v2/faq230b.zip             
v2/readme.1st              
v2apps/rh1478b.zip         
v2gnu/bnu211b.zip          
v2gnu/gcc2953b.zip         
v2gnu/gpp2953b.zip         
v2gnu/mak3791b.zip         

  Thanks in advance,
nick thompson
