You can delete autoexec.nav. Norton Antivirus will created a autoexec.nav
after installation to backup your autoexec.bat.
If you don't have a c:\autoexec.bat, then create one. Otherwise, modify the
existing c:\autoexec.bat. The one in c:\windows\command\ebd is only used
when creating bootdisk. So it will not have any effect when booting from
harddisk.

You do not need to run any program from the autoexec.bat. Just set the
environment variables. You should have at least this two lines in your
c:\autoexec.bat

DJGPP=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env
PATH=c:\djgpp\bin
