Subject:	dos env variables set via setdjgpp.bat

I am a new user of djgpp.  I have loaded version 1.11 with upto 1.11 maint
release 2.  The readme file says to add

            CALL mydir\djgpp\bin\setdjgpp mydir/djgpp mydir\djgpp

to my AUTOEXEC.BAT with the UNIX file directory syntax first and the DOS syntax
second.  This results in environment variables having mixed DOS and UNIX file
directory syntax with the top level directory in DOS format and the
subdirectories in UNIX format.  However, the embedded help section of
setdjgpp.bat says the order is to be reversed:  DOS syntax first and then UNIX.
Then the env variables are wholly in UNIX syntax.  The tryit.bat facility seems
to generate the same working hello executable with the same message displayed
for BOTH sets of env variables.  Which form is "correct"?  Thanks in advance
for help with this simple-minded question.
