I didn't know that Stuffit worked with .zip files... are you trying to run DJGPP on a Macintosh?? Please get the file named 'v2/readme.1st' from the same place you got DJGPP. It tells you how to install and configure DJGPP. There are really only two steps: unzip the files correctly and make two changes in your 'autoexec.bat'. If you've done these correctly, then you should be good to go. If you don't understand the instructions in 'readme.1st', please post here again, giving details about exactly what does not work for you. We can't guess what your problem is without specific information. See also the DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions list, chapter 6. The FAQ is available from SimTel as v2/faq210b.zip or online at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/. hth -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
