I've got two problems trying to get djgpp set up to work under Windows 
95.  I've installed the recommended files into c:\djgpp.  I've added 
\djgpp\bin to the path in my autoexec.bat and also set 
DJGPP=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env.  The environment file is there and I cannot 
see anything wrong with it.  I've also downloaded and installed the 
emacs distributions that comes with the djgpp distribution.  It sits in 
c:\djgpp\gnu\emacs\bin.

(1)  EMACS seemed to work fine until I added the line in my 
autoexec.bat to set the variable DJGPP.  Now nothings happens when I 
try to run EMACS.  I've tried running the EMACS.EXE file in the \bin 
and also the PIF file in the \msdos directory.  In MS-DOS mode, 
nothing happens at all.  In Windows, a DOS box opens and then 
immediately closes.  EMACS runs okay again if I rem out the line in my 
autoexec.bat that sets the DJGPP variable.

(2)  Also, I cannot get GCC to find the C++ headers.  It finds C 
headers (I tried stdio.h) but not iostream.h.  I've read the 
sections in the manual.  I've checked the file and it's sitting in the 
\djgpp\lang\cxx\ subdirectory.  I have not edited the djgpp.env file 
and have restored it a couple of times from the .zip file.  I've 
tried the source file with a .cc extension and a .cpp extension and 
tried using the -x c++ command line switch.  It's when I added the set 
DJGPP=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env line to my autoexec.bat that EMACS stopped 
working.  The file I've been trying to include is just iostream.h.  The 
only thing that I have not done is tried to edit my registry for the 
numeric tail problem, which I don't know anything about and am loath to 
do.  Do I have any other options?

Here is the list of my environment variables from set > env.lst:

TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
PROMPT=$p$g
winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\DJGPP\BIN
DJGPP=c:/djgpp/djgpp.env
LMOUSE=C:\MOUSE
windir=C:\WINDOWS
BLASTER=A220 I2 D1 H6 T6

Thanks for any help.
