HI Charles

I might be able to help, but I can't spend a lot of time on it because I'm
doing this at work, and I have a specific project to work on.
I'll help however I can.

The problem I'm having is launching Rawhide. DJGPP tells me the DJDIR
variable is not set and that it is a fatal error.
I have the DJGPP env set,as well as adding djgpp\bin to my path.

There are several bugs known (and being fixed) to use DJGPP with Win2K.
Here's some hints/workarounds:
1) NTVDM crashes if you nest DJGPP images (make/gcc/cc1).  Workaround 1 is
   to use the CVS version of DJGPP library and rebuild everything.
   Workaround 2 is to patch the NTVDM.EXE on your system.  See
   ftp://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/ntvdmpat.zip
   If you own the system I highly recommend patching NTVDM.
2) Many bugs in the long file name support.  A quick workaround is to
   set lfn=n if something doesn't work right.  Example: rename to the
   same name library call fails (strip/ar fail).  Touch fails.  You can 
   always set it back via lfn= ...
3) Sometimes you may see crashes with descriptor limits 0x7xxxxxxx - this
   is the wrap bug.  You can patch an image built with DJGPP V2.03 to
   fix this using ftp://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/ntsbrkpat.zip

If you would like to help testing, bug fixes and support we'd love another
helping hand.
