"I recommend unzipping them in a different directory, say /ada,

and gettting rid of the rest of /ada/bin since they are identical to,
but at a lower revision than, the current dgjpp exes.  I think that
lib/libc.a is also supplied, so get rid of it too (as well as any
other files you find that overlap without *adding* to the utility of
djgpp).  Then copy the rest of /ada/* to the /djgpp directory."

This isn't quite right.  There are four zip files, 3 for gnat and 1 for
djgpp.  The latter is only neccessary if you don't already have the full
djgpp installed.  There is some overlap, i.e. there are some files in the
3 gnat zip files that replace their djgpp equivalents in the full djgpp
installation.  An ad hoc approach could cause the installer to miss these
files.  So if you already have djgpp installed, be sure to get all the
files in the gnat zip files copied over.
