Hello Daniel,
   These programs are not part of the DJGPP distribution. You have 
to go and download the files. 

One available compressing program is called  DJP.EXE (not  
DPJ.EXE)  and you can get it at 
<ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2misc/mlp107b.zip> .

However the program called UPX is quite superior in compression 
as well as that it can compress many different types of 
EXE's(DJGPPV2,Windows,DOS,WATCOM etc...).
So IMHO UPX is the best and you can get it from 
<http://www.nexus.hu/upx> . 

Hope This Helps!
