Consider such a choice to a novice (I don't consider myself such): if the novice doesn't have any experience of either of these, then it will be a bewildering guess as to which route to take! I'd like to pick actual parts of the install script and quote them to help iron out such bugs (as I see them), but such aren't in front of me just now. What I would like to see are words such as "If you don't know better, choose the environment file route having set up an environment variable in c:\autoexec.bat"). Sincerely I appreciate the work of many unsung heroes. I'd just like to contribute in some way, perhaps by pointing out the difficulties I am having during the install. Now, back to that blasted SEGV when my win32 program tries to "CreateFile". Is the bug in djgpp or the rsxntdj thingummy linker not involving those two extra libraries...
