It should be ``set GO32=driver ...'', not ``drivers'', and the name after 
the ``driver'' should be the full pathname of the driver, including the 
extension, not just the name, like this:

	set GO32=driver c:/djgpp/drivers/vesa_s3.grn

  You should also make sure the driver file that you mention indeed 
exists at that place.
