Actually I thought I had a lot of suggestions, but when I checked the
latest readme.1st file, I found it a lot different from the first
readme.1st file I read--all the things I had thought of such as small
example sessions, all the files needed for the simplest compilation,
installing the info files--it's all there!

I agree that when I started to use djgpp, it was a mess. I knew nothing
about UNIX, just DOS and some games, a little bit of Windows, and some
experience with Turbo Pascal. When I look back now, I think the nicest
thing to have would be an install programm for the most basic
configuration, where the first few files where named like "Disk 1", "Disk
2" etc. But wether this is worth the trouble, I don't know. After all the
install programm would just unzip the files on Disk and perhaps start Info
with Help on using Info...
