What is the difference between binary files and source .zip files? Do you need both to run gcc etc? What is DPMI or what ever its called? What does it mean when I get an error message 'No DPMI' when I try to run one of the executables? What are contained in the the following zip files : dpmi....zip, bison....zip, diff....zip, grep....zip, finutil....zip, flex....zip, objc....zip, patch....zip, texinfo....zip and are they necessary to run gcc etc? What are the minimum necessary zip files required to set up djgpp? Please help me out. boylesgj AT lion DOT latrobe DOT edu DOT au
