These are various versions of the djgpp-dsms package. It is built
automatically from all the packages in v2*/ in the DJGPP archive on DJ's
server. It contains all the DSMs from the packages in v2*/, for use with
zippo.

You only need one copy of ds*.zip. Kimio Itoh, if you know the date of
your copy of the DJGPP packages, I can e-mail you the appropriate
djgpp-dsms package, e.g. ds010926.zip. I have copies of all these ds*.zip
files.

Once the djgpp-dsms package is installed, a user can install a package
such as grep just by doing:

    zippo -i grep

zippo will then try to find the package files in the directories listed in
the configuration file. (On my system I point zippo at a mirror of the
DJGPP archive, so this method is very convenient.)

Bye,
