This is also being CC'd as my news server is rather unreliable.


This looks like an installation problem.  Here's an abbreviated listing of
what my directory structure looks like:

DJGPP.ENV is ALWAYS unpacked in the root of your DJGPP directory.  If it's
not there, and your directory tree doesn't even remotely resemble the one
above, you've got a problem.

Hope this helps,
