it is perfectly normal for there to be no autoexec.bat on a computer
which only had win95.
in any case, the advice was correct, just create one.

dos is not case sensitive (win95 preserves the case information, but
does not use it.) DJ _is_ case sensitive, though. the correct name of
the package is either djgpp or DJGPP ... no mixed case.

in fact the following should work
set PATH=c:\djgpp;%PATH%
set DJGPP=c:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
but what you did is fine too.

i will point out, since i always do, that this question is off-topic.
there are quite a few dos info sites on the net. try searching yahoo.
the only reason i responded was because you were given inaccurate
information.
OTOH, why are you asking these? i mean, if you actually did add those
lines to your autoeec, and unzipped djgpp preserving the directory
structure, everyhting should be up and running, are you having problems?
