All this in the >ms-dos console. I did this. But, there is no "make.exe" to run. make.exe is probably in c:\djgpp\bin or wherever else you installed DJGPP.

On your PATH if you downloaded all of the basic DJGPP toolchain. Make.exe uses a script called a "makefile" for managing what files depend on what files and how to translate (in this case, compile) the files. -- Damian Yerrick "I refuse to listen to those who refuse to listen to reason."
