It sounds like you haven't read the instructions in "readme.1st", which
can be got at the place you got djgpp. It contains all the instructions
for setting it up, and compiling programs. If you have any more
problems in future could you post more specific information on what was
wrong, as "They don't compile" is not much to go on.
