The slash style isn't important.

I don't have access to W2K.  First thing to try is to see whether this
is specific to RHIDE or all DJGPP programs.  Write a simple DJGPP
program which does getenv("DJDIR") and prints the result, and see if
DJDIR is defined inside that program.

Assuming that the test program does see DJDIR defined, the next step
is to try different RHIDE versions and see whether the problem is
specific to some or all of them.  There's an old version on SimTel.NET
and another one on Robert Hoehne's home page.

Meanwile, someone who knows about RHIDE internals could look into the
sources and try to see what does RHIDE do with code which reads
DJGPP.ENV that other programs don't normally do.  (DJGPP.ENV is
normall read by the startup code.)
