Are these typos? They should have been added to autoexec.bat, and they
should read:
set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%path%
set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV

First of all, make sure you have read the README.1ST file as it describes a
solution to a problem similar to what you describe.
If that fails, please post the following:
* Source code (as short as possible) that doesn't work
* Command line used to compile
* Output of failed compiler run, with `-v' option
* Contents of environment (output of SET)
* Contents of AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS

Also, John Aldrich <fighteer AT cs DOT com> has written a program called DJVERIFY
which could help diagnose your problem. E-mail him and ask for it.
