 Errr, like, look here, Beavis. In the /v2 or /v1 path you will find
 readme.1st file.

 Let's go over this again.

 Ftp off to which ever mirror you like, from the djgpp path you should 
 see a list of paths something like this

 /v1
 /v1apps
 /v1whatever
 /v2
 /v2apps
 /v2whatever

 now if you want version1 follow the /v1 link
 if you want version2 follow the /v2 link.
 here you wil find a list of files, download the
 realme.1st file and the faq*b.zip file.
 READ the readme file and unzip the faq file for later reading.
 remember READ the readme file.
 That's whatever/djgpp/v2 or whatever/djgpp/v1 your going to look in.

 If you have further questions, please post them.
 I suggest you use the pkunzip -t test to ensure the
 files are OK before you unzip them, also.
