Pull down the Start menu, choose Run, and type notepad c:\autoexec.bat Assuming you installed it to c:\djgpp\ paste these two lines at the end of the file: set DJGPP=c:\DJGPP\DJGPP.env set path=c:\DJGPP\bin;%path% This will make sure that the DJGPP environment variable is defined as soon as you restart your computer. -- Damian Yerrick CM 398, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology 5500 Wabash Ave Terre Haute, IN 47803 http://come.to/yerrick
