I don't know how big gcc303b.zip is, but base64 encoding for email is 4/3 the
size of the original file, since four bytes take the place of three.  If you
can't download from Simtel, maybe try the mirrors (following link)?

I still have gcc2952d.zip and gcc2953b.zip, and about 10 MB free on the
partition where DJGPP is installed, after starting with the greatest number of
cylinders I could get subject to 4096 bytes allocation unit (a little more or
less than 256 MB, where 1 MB = 10 ** 6 bytes).  Allegro has the stuff for all
OSes, not just DOS, and that wastes space on a DOS partition.  Now if I could
delete this part and unzip onto a Linux partition, and cross-compile for DOS?
I have no DOS support for long file names or FAT32.
