I downloaded from the main site a set of zips using the zip picker and
unziped these dowloaded files into a directory called c:\DJGPP
I then read the Readme.1st and filled out my autoexec.bat with

set  DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
set  DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%

I saved and rebooted
I then tried to load gpp by clicking on it in windows, it opend a MSDOS
prompt and gave me this error message

Fatal:  Error in DJGPP installation
           Environment variable DJGPP point to file
'C:\DJGPP\BIN;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND',
           which does not exist

I then tried to compile hello.c in rhide and I got the same error.

I have not edited the env file one bit I have no clue what the problem
is.
