You are correct. I believe I managed to fit djdev onto
a floppy by gzipping it, but bnu I had to split.
However, why on earth are these in different directories
if they're both required? Something which would be IMO
a good thing would be to split the ZIP files up into
something like:
v2req required to get gcc to work
v2nice bison/flex, gdb etc.
v2apps bash, gawk, etc.
v2tools emacs, groff etc.
That way we could just say "to start get everything in
v2req" instead of having to fetch bits from different
directories (and inevitably forgetting some). In other
words a heirarch y going from things everyone needs to
ones most people won't use (in general most DOS users
won't be interested in emacs or groff, they'll already
have their favourite text editors and word processors;
I'm unusual in that I use vi and groff on DOS by
preference).
