More Information:

Environment Variables The compiler and linker depend on several DOS environment variables to locate needed files. After you install Version 1.01, you need to set environment variables so that the compiler can find files in the directories that you specified when running SETUP. To simplify this process, SETUP automatically creates a file containing commands that set these variables. The file is named NEW-VARS.BAT and SETUP places this file in the “binary” directory that you specified earlier in the setup process.

Using NEW-VARS.BAT You may run NEW-VARS.BAT directly as a batch file. However, it will be more convenient for you to copy the commands from NEW-VARS.BAT into the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in your root directory. In this way, the environment variables are set automatically whenever you boot in DOS.
