I obtained GJGPP (a port of GCC to MSDOS 80386 machines) from 
wuarchive.wustl.edu and installed it on my PC,
which is a clone with an 80386 chip and the AMI BIOS.

For a few minutes, I managed to get the thing to work although
I cannot for the life of me remeber what I did right. Then I made some
other changes in my autoexec.bat file and elsewhere (but not in the
GCC stuff) and now when I type

gcc hello.c

I get

.exe Copyright (C) 1991 DJ Deloire
Can't open file <ch/dCOMSPEC=C:\COMMAND.COM>

There is a file C:\COMMAND.COM and when I type SET to display the
environment, I find that
COMSPEC=C:\COMMAND.COM

is part of the environment, along with the environment variables
that I set as presecribed in the README file that says how to isntall.
The only variable I didn't  set was the one for GO32, which
is described as optional , since I haven't checked what kinds of drivers I 
have.

If anyone knows what could be cuasing the aforementioned error message,
please let me know.
