I don't think you'll see much flaming on this list, even though your
wording might suggest some...

The DJGPP FAQ list (available as faq102.zip from the same place you got
DJGPP)  has some simple and helpful instructions for some possible
causes of your problems.

Section 4.1 in the FAQ explains how to be sure you got all the docs for all
the packages you download: just get the *dc.zip file for every package you
install, and the dj112doc.zip for the library reference and docs of non-GNU
programs.

You should set the DJGPP environment variable to point to the full path of
djgpp.env, like this:

	set DJGPP=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env

This is usually done in the AUTOEXEC.BAT (but put the actual path on your
machine).  This is also explained in the FAQ (question 8.1).

> Why aren't they compiled already?

No, you don't need to compile them, because they _are_ compiled and supplied
to you in the *.i* files included with the various *dc.zip files.
