Actually since he want's to compile and run programs under DOS shouldn't
that be the OS that should be selected from the zip-picker rather than the
OS he is currently using (presumably windoze).

 Because although he might be installing DJGPP under windoze he might be
programming in native DOS mode and might endup with a "load error no DPMI"
message due to cwsdpmi not been recommended by the zip-picker.
