Hi Ted.

 I took a pot shot at what you might hacve done and it must be something
like removing C:\WINDOWS from your PATH environment variable.

I suppose that that instead of adding to your path you have replaced it,
i.e.
the readme file says

>> Add C:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;C:\gnuwin32\b18\tcl\bin' to your
$PATH <<

 I belive that you, probably as you say because you are starting from
scratch and know nothing, have typed:

PATH C:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;C:\gnuwin32\b18\tcl\bin

or

SET PATH=C:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;C:\gnuwin32\b18\tcl\bin

both resetting the path to the new value, to add is typed as

PATH C:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;C:\gnuwin32\b18\tcl\bin;%PATH%

or

SET PATH=C:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;C:\gnuwin32\b18\tcl\bin;%PATH%

In the sincerely hope that this helps you
Regards

Henrik Geleff

Ted,
 did you write something like PATH=f:\gnuwin32\etc\etc;%PATH%, or
 you miss %PATH%?
 Because if you miss it, you won't have the c:\windows (or c:\win95) and
 c:\windows\command in your path!

I hope this will help...

square one

[Ted & Terry Erlwein]

I recently got a book about learning C++ which had your compiler in it.
I was then instructed to download B-18. After doing that and running
cdk.exe, I modified my autoexec.bat file and then attempted to restart
Win95. After a little while, I get a message that it cannot find win.com
and can't continue loading Windows.

Your readme and FAQ sheets aren't much help for people like me who are
trying to start from scratch and know nothing.

Is there something fundamentally basic that I am doing wrong?

Thank you, Ted Erlwein
