Thanks for your reply.

I gather my autoexec.bat, config.sys and SET are all OK from your response,
they do seem to match what's required.

Autoexec.bat
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\jdk1.2.1\BIN;C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%
SET CLASSPATH=.;C:\JFC;
SET DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV

The only zip file in the DGJPP folder I could find to unzip was gcc.zip in
the \bin subdirectory which I unzipped as gcc.exe in the same directory.
Does this sound right?

I'm using version 2.01( maybe that's why it mentioned file go32-v2 which as
you've pointed out is now obsolete. Maybe that's old, I'll stick with it
however if it possible as I couldn't work out how to download from
http://www.delorie.com/ and I just couldn't bare to start again. Is
versions2.01 good enough?

Thanks for pointing out Rhide is the IDE, that is what I was asking, I went
inside the Rhide folder but couldn't produce an EDI window from this folder.
Anyway the DOS prompt will do for now if it is suitable.

OK I'm using SAMS Teach yourself C in 21 days and have created a file in my
c:\DJGPP folder tilted hello.c using Wordpad on Windows 95. The contents of
the file are as follows

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    print("Hello, World!\n");
    return 0;
}

Athe the DOS prompt I typed the following

c:\DJGPP>gcc -o hello.exe hello.c

and got the following error message

hello.c:1: studio.h: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

Any suggestions as to what is wrong. Once again thanks for any help anyone
can give.
