Greetings Ian,
	I hope you have read the README.1ST file in the djgpp folder 
as it contains important instructions on setting up.

The File is C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT  NOT autoexe.bat( I don't know 
wether this is a typo  but since you have mentioned the wrong 
filename twice it is unlikely). You maybe adding this lines to the 
wrong file but since there were some PATH command's this also 
unlikely. I am a bit confused.

>>I double clicked on the autoexe.bat a small dos window came

What was this error message? 

Please make sure that you open the file AUTOEXEC.BAT and add 
the following lines and remembering to change them to the 
directory you installed DJGPP.

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

example-: if you installed to d:\djgpp the lines should be as follows

     set DJGPP=D:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
     set PATH=D:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%


 And after saving and rebooting try a compile and it it should work.

If this fails it really would help if you could post the contents of your 
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files and the directory name 
where you installed DJGPP to.

No, you have got the correct zip's.


Hope this work's!
