Hurrah! This is the first time I've seen those new installation checks
working in practice: it is good to see that they do actually get
triggered and give sensible error messages.

Watch your quotations! That should be "DJGPP", not "Djgpp". There is a
difference...

>echo set C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV

Quoting from the readme.1st which Allegro just told you to read:

   Assuming your DJGPP installation is rooted at C:\DJGPP, put these
   two lines into your autoexec.bat file:

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

You seem to have lost the "DJGPP=" bit and added an echo which prevents
the thing from being run at all. Why?
