No, it's related to many other factors, particularly that both DJGPP and Mingw32
include 'gcc.exe' files. The easiest (best?) way to do this is to take your
DJGPP settings out of your autoexec.bat and put them in another batch file,
maybe usedjgpp.bat. Put all your mingw32 settings in usemingw32.bat or similar.
Now, go to Start->Run and type "command.com /k usedjgpp" or "command.com /k
usemingw32". This will bring up a DOS box ready to use either DJGPP or mingw32.
Each DOS box has a seperate environment to the rest of the OS, so as soon as
exit the DOS box, the environment settings will disappear, and thus not mess up
your mingw32 installation. You can even have both a DJGPP AND a Mingw32 DOS box
open at the same time!
