Dear Andrea,
>> I've added the following lines to my autoexic.bat:
The file you are supposed to add the lines is supposed to be
c:\autoexec.bat NOT autoexic.bat. Either this is a spelling mistake
by you as you typed in the filename for this message or you added
the lines to a wrong file.
If you are adding the lines to your "autoexic.bat" it won't have any
effect because the OS won't recognise it (the OS reads
AUTOEXEC.BAT).
Could you please try adding the lines to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
and see wether the DJGPP variable is defined..
If this fails please post or attach the contents of the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file and I'll try to help you.
BTW a good way to find wether the DJGPP environment variable
has been defined is to type 'SET' at the DOS prompt and press
enter and see the output.
Bye!
Enjoy DJGPP!
