HI Charles
I might be able to help, but I can't spend a lot of time on it because I'm
doing this at work, and I have a specific project to work on.
I'll help however I can.
The problem I'm having is launching Rawhide. DJGPP tells me the DJDIR
variable is not set and that it is a fatal error.
I have the DJGPP env set,as well as adding djgpp\bin to my path.

There are several bugs known (and being fixed) to use DJGPP with Win2K.
Here's some hints/workarounds:
1) NTVDM crashes if you nest DJGPP images (make/gcc/cc1). Workaround 1 is
to use the CVS version of DJGPP library and rebuild everything.
Workaround 2 is to patch the NTVDM.EXE on your system. See
ftp://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/ntvdmpat.zip
If you own the system I highly recommend patching NTVDM.
2) Many bugs in the long file name support. A quick workaround is to
set lfn=n if something doesn't work right. Example: rename to the
same name library call fails (strip/ar fail). Touch fails. You can
always set it back via lfn= ...
3) Sometimes you may see crashes with descriptor limits 0x7xxxxxxx - this
is the wrap bug. You can patch an image built with DJGPP V2.03 to
fix this using ftp://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/ntsbrkpat.zip
If you would like to help testing, bug fixes and support we'd love another
helping hand.
