I have never installed the fortran stuff, so I can't comment too much on
this.

Ouch - not much memory.

Here is a copy of the two lines you need in your autoexec.bat (taken
right out
of the README.1ST):

	set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
	set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%

You haven't used the 'set' command for starters... Maybe you should read
the
readme.1st again, reading it CAREFULLY this time. I don't know why you
have
added the include stuff, because I thought it was handled by the
DJGPP.ENV.
I can't say about the f2c stuff though, but I can't imagine it being
that much
different (Eli? Someone?)  Also, I recommend installing the C++ files,
simply
because they come in handy. You don't know when you are going to install
another
program (such as f2c) which may use the C++ classes etc...

The documentation is fine...

Leathal.
