I don't know when you originally asked your question, but USENET
propagation takes time, and your posting will show up at different
times on different servers.  If you're reading this on the mailing
list, there is also a lag there.   Newgroups and mailing lists are not
instantaneous.   Further, on occasion, servers will "lose" a message
from time to time, so some messages won't show up on all the USENET
servers worldwide.

If you're talking about getting DJGPP working, read on.  I'm assuming
that you've downloaded all the required files:

1. Unzip the files into a newly created directory called C:\DJGPP,
using the option to retain the directory structure.  As I don't know
what ZIP program you're using, and you're probably more familiar with
it than I am, I'll leave it to you to figure out how to accomplish
this.

2. Next, you need to get access to the "System Properties". How you do
this depends on how you set up your system.  If you put "My Computer"
on your desktop, this is easy.  Right click on "My Computer" and
select "Properties".

If you don't have "My Computer" on the desktop, Go to your start menu,
and select "Control Panel.   Then Select "Printers and other
Hardware".  In the frame on your left, you should see "System".
Select this.  You should now see the System Properties dialog on the
screen.

3. Select the "Advanced" Tab

4. On the "Advanced" tab, you should see a button marked "Environment
Variables"

5. Under "User Variables for [insert your name here]", click "NEW" and
fill in the fields as follows:

Variable Name: DJGPP
Variable Value: C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV

Click OK.

6a. If you don't already see a PATH variable listed under the User
variables, select NEW again and fill in the fields as follows:

Variable Name: PATH
Variable Value: C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%

Click OK.

6b. If you DO already see a path variable listed under the User
Variables, click the EDIT button and insert this into the beginning of
the Variable Value:

C:\DJGPP\BIN;

Click OK.

Note that you will definitely have a PATH variable present in your
System Variables.   You *could* modify this one instead, but this way
is better, as it restricts the changes only to your user account.


7. Run the tests as shown in the readme.1st file (one of the files
that you were supposed to download and read before doing anything) to
see if it works.
