Did you also download the necessary gnu stuff?
How did you pick the necessecary zip's?
Was it: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html
If so the only thing you need to change is the path in the autoexec (e.g.
PATH=C:\DOS;C:\WIN\COMMAND\;C:\DJGPP\BIN;)
and to add an env
(eg. SET DJGPP=C:/DJGPP/DJGPP.ENV)
then in should be done.
If you're using RHIDE also you have to copy DJGPP.ENV from
DJGPP\GNU\gcc-2.81 to your main DJGPP-dir.
Have a lot of fun with your DJGPP.
