How were you attempting to change autoexec.bat. In dos use 'edit
autoexec.bat' from the root. There is a program in Windows 95 called
'sysedit.exe' it is found in the windows directory, this enables you to
change autoexec.bat config.sys win.ini etc...

I think I'm right in saying all you have to is amend the path to include
your DJGPP\BIN directory eg.

PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\DJGPP\BIN

then after that enter the line...

setdjgpp c:\djgpp c:/djgpp

NOTE there should be two parameters to setdjgpp one in the DOS style with
backslash and one in UNIX style with forward slash and they should be to the
directory you unzipped DJGPP to.

Then open a DOS window if you like enter RHIDE (if you downloaded rhide) and
you can start coding from there. If you didn't get rhide then use edit, and
compile using the command line.

If you need more help, e mail me.

Steve.
