Did you download and read the README.1ST file.

It's spelled DJGPP.

Use UNZIP32.EXE (which hopefully the zip-picker recommended) to unpack.

If you unpacked it correctly (and that's why I suggest you use
UNZIP32.EXE), all you need to do is make sure some\path\to\djgpp\bin
is in your PATH and the environment variable DJGPP is set to
some/path/to/djgpp/djgpp.env.


Right,
