Hmm... but IIRC, the policy used to be to avoid *any* editing of DJGPP.ENV by users. That's why many of those lines start with a '+': they only supply a fallback value for the case that the user didn't set some environment variable. In that context, the README should tell people to add set LANG=C into autoexec.bat (or wherever else they put their set DJGPP=....), shouldn't it? -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
