I'm sure by now you already have a binary.  However, I thought I
should point out:

	1. There is a "Makefile.djg" in the msdos subdirectory of the
	   source code to gzip.  It should work with djgpp 1.09,
	   MS_SH200, and GNUish make.

	2. I have successfully compiled gzip with djgpp.  It runs
	   faster than the native DOS version that you probably have
	   now.
