You allready have MV VS .NET installed and the Sun JDK 1.4.1.  Looks
like you need to figure out what you want to do as you are going
arround in cricles.

Your path looks like you have installed everything but the kitchen
sink from MS for development tools. You need to cleanup what you have
installed and remove old versions and fix up your path so it has LFN
and not a mixture of LFN and SFN directories as this may cause you
problems with MS apps. You have MS SQL 7.0 and SQL 2000 (8.0?) in the
path.

If you need a Windows app then use your installed MS VS .net, if you
need to produce DOS based apps then MC VS .net will NOT do this. If
you need to produce Win 32 command line apps then you haev a number of
choices.... to many to mention....

I suggest that you setup a batch file that:-
1) removes all of the un-necesary environment variables. The ones you
need at a minimum are:-
	path=..... no MS apps (windows is not an app, it's an OS) and
put the djgpp path FIRST.
	djgpp=
2) Run cmd.com and then execute the batch file that sets up your path.

As you have stated that you allready have the latest version of DJGPP
then it is 100% compatible with Win2K and XP for what you are trying
to do. 

The DJGPP alpha 1 release from 2 months ago is compatible with Win
2K/Xp and so have all of the GCC releases for the last 16 months. AS
time goes on more and more fixes are included in the code to cope with
MS bugs found in 2K/XP.
