That's not the problem to which toudi was referring: the SET command says 
"djggp.env", not "djgpp.env", which is not the same.

Also case-sensitivity wrt environment variables is not the issue here, 
since djgpp.env is a file name.  (And DOS is *not* case-insensitive
about environment variables, btw.)
