OK.

Can anyone, using very easy words, tell me how to get GCC (or DJGPP) running 
on my DOS (486) machine?  Several attempts have failed.  This is what happens:

I FTP to a SimTel mirror & follow the instructions in the README.1ST file.  I 
download the "modules you'll want to start with" as listed there, and pkunzip 
them with the -d and -o switches, as required.  Now I have lots of files in 
lots of directories, but none of the batch files work -- they generated errors 
to the effect of "unknown file type" or something like that, and sometimes 
"file not found".  

Well, I have many more sources of confusions, but I'll stop here for now.  Any 
help would be appreciated.  Alternatively, if someone felt like taking the 
time to zip up their working gcc and gpp executables and send them to me, I 
would be even more grateful.

Lucien
