It makes sense IMHO to have an installation program which targets people 
who don't have a clue about installing software.  It should be 
exceedingly simple in operation and as fool-proof as you can get.  That 
means that it should not depend on any particular unzip program (or lack 
thereof), on availability of previous DJGPP installation, DPMI host etc.
