It should be easy to setup in any directiry you like. Simply unzip in the directory you want let's say c:\foo\bar, and then change the path setting and environment settings in your autoexec.bat from c:\djgpp to c:\foo\bar. That should do the trick. By the way, I think this question might point to an unclarity in the docs. Should we add this question to the FAQ? Hope this helps. Bjorn De Meyer.
