Yep, that is how I was feeling when I detected the zip finder,
and I am not exactly a newbie either;-).
Had MS-C 5.1 a lot of years ago and sold it, when I found out
that I was not experienced enough to earn money with C
programming. Did a little bit of experimenting in Turbo-C and
then put aside everything for a decade. As I have Linux on the
machine, too, but not actually using it, I decided to go a little
bit into AWK, C and so on, but wanted to have it under DOS,
because that's what is running all day long at my computer. Was
very happy to find out about DJGPP, and the zip finder was a big
help.
My problem was just to find out what I needed for a minimal
system, plus RHIDE. Got it up and running anyway, but I suppose I
would have been the typical user who might profit from a Setup
Utillity.
