Right.

Right.

Whoa, hold it right there!  If you set things up right you don't need to
touch that variable, or anything else in djgpp.env.

It doesn't matter.  DJGPP programs can recognize the slashes either
way.  Unless you really do understand how to edit djgpp.env (look
for pointers on DJ's homepage), don't even touch it!  I recommend
that you re-extract an original copy and try again.

I also recommend that you download and read the DJGPP Frequently
Asked Questions list (faq201b.zip in the v2 directory of any SimTel
mirror, or from DJ's web site).  It has complete, precise, and well-written
instructions for getting DJGPP to work.
