Don't put "c:\djgpp" in your path at all, you don't need it, only "c:
\djgpp\bin". And that should technically always be first in your path
because Windows has its own REDIR.EXE, which is not the same as
DJGPP's version (and will most likely be erroneously called by any of
your .BATs or makefiles to ill effect).
