Or maybe, for simplicity, just install and try the 'env' program from
shellutils: it prints the full environment, as seen by a DJGPP
application.
env | grep DJDIR
should show a line like
DJDIR=d:/devtools/djgpp
One thing to be wary of: "devtools" is 8 characters long. This may cause
it to be mangled to a short name like devtoo~3, as seen from a DOS
program, depending on how you created the directory name.
