Of course!  I never meant to suggest otherwise.  :)  However, since it
also contains much information about setting up and using DJGPP, it is
as valuable after you have downloaded as before.

Perhaps in each of the dj***201.zip packages, so there's no chance of
missing it.  Actually, the best thing to do would be to put it in
_every_ package, including the /v2gnu packages.  After all, everybody
expects to find a README file in everything they download, right?
