If you're reading this on the mailing list, there is also a lag there. Newgroups and mailing lists are not instantaneous. Further, on occasion, servers will "lose" a message from time to time, so some messages won't show up on all the USENET servers worldwide. If you're talking about getting DJGPP working, read on. I'm assuming that you've downloaded all the required files: 1. Unzip the files into a newly created directory called C:\DJGPP, using the option to retain the directory structure. As I don't know what ZIP program you're using, and you're probably more familiar with it than I am, I'll leave it to you to figure out how to accomplish this. 2. Next, you need to get access to the "System Properties". How you do this depends on how you set up your system. If you put "My Computer" on your desktop, this is easy. Right click on "My Computer" and select "Properties". If you don't have "My Computer" on the desktop, Go to your start menu, and select "Control Panel. Then Select "Printers and other Hardware". In the frame on your left, you should see "System". Select this. You should now see the System Properties dialog on the screen. 3. Select the "Advanced" Tab 4. On the "Advanced" tab, you should see a button marked "Environment Variables" 5. Under "User Variables for [insert your name here]", click "NEW" and fill in the fields as follows: Variable Name: DJGPP Variable Value: C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV Click OK. 6a. If you don't already see a PATH variable listed under the User variables, select NEW again and fill in the fields as follows: Variable Name: PATH Variable Value: C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH% Click OK. 6b. If you DO already see a path variable listed under the User Variables, click the EDIT button and insert this into the beginning of the Variable Value: C:\DJGPP\BIN; Click OK. Note that you will definitely have a PATH variable present in your System Variables. You *could* modify this one instead, but this way is better, as it restricts the changes only to your user account. 7. Run the tests as shown in the readme.1st file (one of the files that you were supposed to download and read before doing anything) to see if it works. ----------- Thanks MCheu
