First, the FAQ says that it is only consistent with DJGPP v2.0, not
v2.01. Second, the file that you should really see is v2/readme.1st,
which *is* up-to-date.

Can't be. The error message is printed because your as.exe is from v1.x,
not v2.0. Even if you would install as.exe from v2gnu/bnu252b.zip, the
message will not appear. Only as.exe from v1gnu/bnu252bn.zip (note the
subtle differences in the directory and zip file names!) will cause the
error to appear. Chapter 4 of the FAQ mentions v2gnu/bnu252b.zip.

This lesson is correct. The other one is: if there's a readme file
available with a distribution, read it before unzipping the package.
