I see a lot of people complaining that stuff doesn't work, files not
found.
This gives me headache, since, I wan't to know if these people ever read

anything in their %DJDIR%/gnu directory.

I mean, the problem with long filenames and how to resolve that if
you're
working in DOS, W95 or DOS/W95...

Another thing is 'setdjgpp.bat' (that's what it is called, I think)...
Why would
poeple even put

set DJGPP=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env

to their autoexec.bat when it is clearly stated there that it sould be

set DJGPP=c:/djgpp/djgpp.env

Is it really hard to read and comprehend? All I'm asking is that you
read
files like '%DJGPP%/gnu/gcc-2.81/readme.djgpp' before you go asking
for help.

On my behalf, I want to thank all the generous people out there that
don't take
a rocket launcher, but write a simple expalantion, when they see
messages like
' where is my streambuf.h?'
