Stop right there.  First, go to the SimTel/msdos/zip/ directory and get
pkz204g.exe.  You are using an obsolete, somewhat buggy version of pkzip.
Second, erase all the djgpp files you retrieved and retrieve them again.  If
you have to run pkzipfix on them, it probably means you transfered them in
text rather than binary mode and they are hopelessly corrupt.  Third, add
to your list of files dj112m1.zip through dj112m3.zip.  dj112m4.zip is not
enough; you must apply all of the maintenance releases in order, not just the
last one.  Finally, I also recommend faq102.zip, the frequently asked
questions file.
