There is no environment variable DJGPP. And your PATH is extremely long, already. A DOS program may not be able to accept such a long PATH. Another possible problem: you have environment variables used by MSVC++ active, too. It's generally not a good idea to have environment settings for two different C compilers active at the same time, in one command line session. Please carefully re-read README.1st (the parts specific to Windows NT, in particular) and double-check everything it says you should do. Something's almost certainly missing. Could be the necessary reboot, e.g. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
