 Sorry about being unclear.  When trying to run GCC or any of the other

 executables I receive the error "Cannot exec go32".  There is an

 environment variable in the config.sys that sets go32 by stating

 SET GO32=c:\djgpp\drivers\vga.grd  etc.   But there is no drivers 

 directory and no vga.grd file....???  Also, it does not state that you 

 have to install to the directory named djgpp although it seems this is

 what the config.sys implies.

 Sorry for my ignorance, but you have gone right over my head here.....

 "quote their doco" and my "reality"...What does this mean...



 Thanks again.



 Graham.
