I just downloaded djgpp and I am having problems setting up the
environment.  When I first unzipped everything I could run emacs
(old friend) right away by clicking on it's icon.  When I followed
the directions and added the material to the autoexec.bat file and
rebooted the computer, emacs now crashes.  A window opens and closes
right away.  There are no error messages to be found.

This is what I added to autoexec.bat:

rem *** djgpp settings ***
SET DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
SET PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%
rem *** djgpp settings ***

I also tried reversing the two lines since I don't know much
about conversing in autoexec.bat-speak.  When I comment the
lines out and reboot again, emacs does work.

The two directories exist (I can manually cd to them).

Here is what is in djgpp.env (just the stuff that I can guess
has any remote relevancy to the problem):

#= Don't edit this line unless you move djgpp.env outside
#= of the djgpp installation directory.  If you do move
#= it, set DJDIR to the directory you installed DJGPP in.
#=
DJDIR=%:/>DJGPP%

+USER=dosuser
+TMPDIR=%DJDIR%/tmp
+EMU387=%DJDIR%/bin/emu387.dxe
+LFN=n

and later on.....

[emacs]
INFOPATH=%/>;INFOPATH%%DJDIR%/info;%DJDIR%/gnu/emacs/info

C:\DJGPP\info and C:\DJGPP\gnu\emacs\info exist.
Any hints as to what's wrong?  I haven't modified djgpp.env
in any way.  Are the slashes backwards or do they need to
go in that direction in the environment file?  Sorry, I'm
a newbie to DOS/WIN95.  I take what I know from the UNIX
world and fumble my way through it.
