What 'above line'? There is none. I suspect your problem is that you mixed up the two changes to be made to the environment variables. One affects the PATH (you should prepend the directory c:\djgpp\bin to it), the other involves creating a new variable, DJGPP, and make its value c:\djgpp\djgpp.env. From what you write, you seem to have put the DJGPP.ENV filename as the sole content of PATH, which is completely wrong. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
