Hi, my name is Tim. I just downloaded the DJGPP compiler along with the
Allegro game programming stuff. Allegro tells me that before I can use
anything there I have to 'make' the program. It comes with a program called
make.exe so I think that is what I am suspposed to do but when I run the
program it gives me the error

>Your DJGPP environment variable is not set correctly! It should point to
the >djgpp.env file: see the djgpp readme.1st for details.

I read the readme.1st and it told me to put the following lines into my
AUTOEXEC.BAT file

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

Which I did. I still can't get the thing to work right. It mentioned
something about 'go32.exe' but I am not sure what or where to get that. It
also mentioned something called 'DPMI' which I am not sure if I have and if
I don't where to get it. I have Windows 95. Any help would be appreciated.
E-mail me at

Thanks, Tim
