I'm looking for the source file that contains the djgpp.env parser (ie the code that opens
the djgpp.env file and adds all the variables to the environment, while parsing the
modifiers, like /, :, \, > etc...)

Also, can someone explain to me how the sections work? What I mean is how are the sections
like [gcc] and [cpp] parsed? Are they done only at the time that those programs are run?

The reasons I need to know these things, is because I want to write a better gccw32.exe
for RSXNTDJ 1.5. I was thinking about adding a rsxntdj.env file with the same syntax as
the djgpp counterpart, to symplify the RSXNTDJ installation a bit more (I still think
people are fumbling with the include directory and library directory setups).

My way, when done, will require the user only to set one environment variable in their
autoexec.bat:

SET RSXNTDJ = C:\RSXNTDJ\rsxntdj.env

That's it, everything else will be done in that file, and all will be well in directory
land :-)

Thanks,
