It should be in your DJGPP root dir.. If not, read it from http://www.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2/readme.1st (or any closer mirror). Why exactly can't you compile in another directory? If it says "Bad command or file name" when invoking gcc/gpp, then this simply means you haven't set the environment variables and the path.. All this is in the readme.1st, so you should get out of this relatively painlessly. HTH, .(Trancelucid). . Jaune . Klytu wrote: > > I am a true beginner to DJGPP and to GNU software.
