Sorry, I assumed people would back it up before editing :) Also assumed that people would only touch the parts they understood (eg. I wouldn't touch the [ls] section since I don't have a clue about it :D ). Hadn't thought of newbies :o A question. Is there any package out there that edits DJGPP.ENV? If not then the file could just be recopied from the latest djdev*.zip if there was any problem with it .. > > Under the section [gpp] there is an env variable called LIBRARY_PATH. > > Just add your library path to it and from then on the library will be > > available for all your projects while still being stored separately from > > the djgpp standard libraries. > > These kinds of changes should be done by setting environment > variables, not by editing DJGPP.ENV.

Just a personnal choice I made in case I need to reinstall packages. That way I could (if necessary) delete all the other directories and reinstall DJGPP from scratch. Sorry if I caused any trouble to newbies :) DSK
