DJGPP requires that you correctly set up the "DJGPP" environment
variable so it knows where to find *its* files.  Assuming you have done
this correctly, here's a brief list of where things are expected to be:

DJGPP's general(C) header files:  c:/djgpp/include
DJGPP's C++ header files:  c:/djgpp/lang/cxx
DJGPP's ObjC header files:  c:/djgpp/lang/objc
DJGPP's library files:  c:/djgpp/lib

Your source code can go anywhere you please; any header
files YOU create should also go in the same directory.  To use
them, put double quotes ("") around them instead of (<>) in
the #include directive.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>
/* The compiler looks for stdio.h in its normal, predefined paths. */

#include "myheader.h"
/* The compiler looks for myheader.h in the CURRENT directory. */

>my source files are in C:\DJGPP\SOURCE
>my .h files are in c:\DJGPP\INCLUDE

I guess it's ok to put your source under the DJGPP tree; it's not what
I would do though.  Actually, you might have trouble with this if you
upgrade to future versions of DJGPP.  (One thing that comes to mind
is deleting the entire v2 tree, accidentally taking your programs
with it.)  I recommend a separate directory on your hard drive for your
programs.

However, you should NOT EVER put your header files into DJGPP's
include dir!  As I said above, place them into the same directory as
your source code and use "" instead of <> to include them.  There
should be no need to move any of the DJGPP header files though,
as long as you're configured properly.
