First, you can't set the PATH permanently in a DOS box under WIN9x.
And things like set DJGPP=... < C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT will never work.
You have to type either a > (that means redirect to / create new file or overwrite
file)
or >> (redirect to / append to the file).
Second, the slashes have to be unix style I think: /

So just open your AUTOEXEC.BAT with Notepad or EDIT or something similiar and
append this line:

set DJGPP=c:/djgpp/djgpp.env

or in a dos box type

echo set DJGPP=c:/djgpp/djgpp.env >> C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT

(This appends the line "set DJGPP=c:/djgpp/djgpp.env" to C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT)

(Sorry for bad English!)
