Where can I get an FAQ partaining to DJGPP and specifically how I can
install DJGPP to use from Windows95. I have decided to teach myself
C/C++ and have chosen DJGPP as the compiler I will use. I downloaded V2
beta and most of the files related to it but cant realy make heads or
tails of what I should do. I have no experience with C and little to
none with Unix (Im not even sure what a Makefile is) and would
appreciate any help I receive. Is there a step-by-step document for the
newbies of the newbies that perhaps I could use to help me get started
programming right away? I have lots of books about C and loads of text
files but they really dont help much in this case. 


Here is what I have done...
I download several files I thought I may need including:
djdev200b - Development and runtime kit (???)
gcc263b - Gnu Gcc 2.6.3 for v2
gdb412b - Gnu Debugger for v2
lgp262b - Gnu libg++ 2.6.2 for djgpp
mak373b - Gnu make for v2
bnu252b - Gnu Binary Utilities
djlsr200 - Source library (do I need this?)
djtst200 - Test programs for v2
texi360b - Texinfo program (cant get it to work though)


Is there anything else I need? Where should I begin? Im lost please
help.

Thanks for your time...
