gcc (djgpp) for PCs (sorry about the last one)

I have recently attempted to install djgpp on my home pc.  Most of the files
were v1.12.  Since every product which one installs on a pc requires that its
LONG name go in the path, and since DOS allows a maximum of 127 (or so)
characters for a pathlength, I have taken to using shorter directory names.
Hence, I have unzipped my files in c:\cc.

My trouble is that I apparently didn't set something up correctly as when I try
to run the test batch files to compile and link, I get messages (using the
verbose mode) which don't point to a sensible DOS path.  Rather the compiler
searches a unix path.  The reason that I blame my setup is that I have not seen
any posts of this sort, I can't find any information on it in the FAQ files at ftp sites, I can't find anything about it in the documentation which came with
the files I downloaded.  I found nothing that suggesting anything regarding the
use of the file \cc\bin\setdjgpp.bat, and I don't understand the syntax in
\cc\djgpp.env, namely :/> in the first line.  I read my DOS manual and
understand the use of %.

I would appreciate a reply by e-mail as I don't see this as a problem that
folks deal with frequently: hanlet@fnalv.fnal.gov

Thanks in advance,
Pierrick
