Install txi312b.zip instead of txi390b.zip (txi312b is newer and
better). (Not related to the problem, btw)

Do you have an as.exe anywhere on you system? If not, re-unzip
bnu27b.zip because it's/should be in there (along with ar.exe,
ranlib.exe, nm.exe, etc). You should also set LFN=y in you environment
(put `set LFN=y' in your autoexec.bat after (or before, doesn't
matter) the `set DJGPP=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env', and reboot after doing so)
