Hi,

I've installed Bernard Gaulle's french package for TeX and had a lot of
problems because I could'nt figure out what is the default value for the
TEXINPUTS variable.
I needed to know this value, because the installing process needs to use
some specific directories BEFORE the standards one. The way to do this
is to set the TEXINPUTS variable and declaring the specific directories
FIRST.
 After very long multiple tries, I found that a default setting for
TEXINPUTS could be :
$TEXMF/tex/plain/base;$TEXMF/tex/latex/misc/base;$TEXMF/tex/generic/hyphen

Please, let me know if this is the REAL default used by all the djgpp
TeX programs.

(Because, if this is not the real default setting, I probably have to
reinstall the french package AGAIN!).
