For blockheads like me that ought to be made clear in the docs; I just
unzipped them where they were. Of course, that had the side effect of
creating a new subdirectory $DJGPP/go32/fs/fs!

Hmmm... I do have a 387 (ever since my first 8087 I won't be without a FPU!).

Well, my 386SX motherboard is pretty old and I have long suspected that
there are either hardware or BIOS related "features" that love to break
PM code! (see my earlier posts on problems with running info.exe while
any [EX]MS using programs were loaded) New motherboard should arrive in
a couple of days and I will try again just for the heck of it.
