Okay guys (and gals) here's the thing, I'm a total newbie to this whole
programming thing (I picked up "C for Dummies Volume One", so I do know
a little "C", and decided I'd try my hand at it) so I just downloaded
all the stuff I need to start my new programming adventure (according to
the "DJGPP Zip File Picker" I needed:  bnu281b, djdev201, faq210b,
gcc281b, mak3761b, rhide14b, and txi390b).  

	Now I'm out in the cold on how to get this sucker runnin'.  Can someone
please help me get this working (just step-by-step _please_).  I've got
one main folder ("DJGPP) and inside I've got all seven folders for the
stuff I just downloaded, and I don't know where to start or how to work
anything.  If someone can just get me to a clean slab of programming
space and show me the basics (how to compile, link, and save the files,
I'd be _very_ appreciative).

	So someone, please take a newbie under your wing :)... (btw, please
reply "off-list" so as not to take up space :) ).
