Thanks for the help gunno but still no luck

I've type gcc-v and yes djgpp does look to be correctly installed.

I've created my hello world program in notepad as text and tried to compile
with

c:\cprogs>gcc -o hello.exe hello.c

but still getting the same error response

hello.c:1: studio.h: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

Any ideas?

PS: sorry if I'm posting in HTML but I barely know what HTML is let alone
how to stop posting in it, if you can tell how not to post in HTML I'd be
glad to stop - i use windows outlook for e-mail.

Cheers
