I probably sound like an idiot with a simple problem, but I'm new at
this and still learning.  When you install DJGPP it tells you to add
the following 2 lines to your autoexec.bat

set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%

after adding these two lines I have problems loading Win95. It say's
it can't find the file win.com, which is the program that starts
win95.  I have to go to the windows directory and type win.com from
dos to start windows now.  When I removed the two lines above from my
autoexec.bat win95 loaded like it's supposed too. Is there a trick to
fixing it? like maybe moving win.com to my djgpp directory???

any help will be great!
thanks
