1) Follow the instructions in the 'readme.1st' file for setting up your
environment with djgpp.  So many people forget this, and it's the most
important thing.  You have to add (or better, prepend) the BIN directory
of your djgpp installation to your PATH, and add the line SET
DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV (replace the path with where your djgpp is
actually installed)

2) Make sure you unzipped the files with the '-d' option to recreate the
directory structure.  If you didn't, then you've probably got a huge
mass of files in one directory, and that will never work.

3) Get the FAQ (v2/faq201b.zip) and READ it!  You also need to get
v2gnu/txi360b.zip to get the info browser that is used to read the djgpp
documentation.  Once installed, type 'info faq' to read the FAQ.
