This page contains out of date information (from the prices it quotes
for various products, the site is at least one year (nine internet
years) behind the reality.

The DJGPP20.ZIP you downloaded from that site is a 18 month old snapshot
of a certain Robert Mudge's installation of DJGPP v.2.0, complete with a
project he seems to be developing at the time. (He deleted the source,
of course, but apparently forgot to clean up the /tmp directoy, which
included a preprocessed copy of his source.)
Here's a snippet of the code:
else if ( line[i+1] == 'i' )
{
if ( line[i+2] == 'n' )
{
if ( line[i+3] == 'c' )
{
if ( line[i+4] == 'l' )
{
if ( line[i+5] == 'u' )
{
if ( line[i+6] == 'd' )
{
if ( line[i+7] == 'e' )
{
if ( line[i+8] == ' ' || line[i+8] == '\n'
||
line[i+8] == '\t' )
{
include_count++;
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
break;

Forget about the file. Go instead to http://www.delorie.com/djgpp and
get the complete picture, including the canonical mirror sites.

By putting such a file on the web, Mr. Nudge could be in violation of
the DJGPP copyright, which stipulates that the complete source of the
software must also be obtainable from the same physical server.
