I don't think anybody recommends cobbling together pieces of 2.04 with
2.03p2. Just use 2.04 if you want / need those headers and functions.
It's easier and works fine.

cd \djgpp
bin\rm @manifest/djdev203.mft
unzip \tmp\djdev204.zip

There are other make-like tools (e.g. cbuild), but GNU stuff typically
uses GNU make.

Don't memorize anything that you don't have to:  at any time you can
read the tutorial ("C-h t") or the Info docs ("C-h i") or "C-h f" to
describe a function or "C-h k" to describe a key combo ... or just use
the menus.   :-)     Even "C-h a" will do "apropos", e.g. find any
function with the word "replace" (or whatever you want) in it. It's
really meant to be extremely well-documented.

Emacs (and even Jed) can emulate vi anyways, if ever desired. (Vim
used to have an Emacs emulation, but it didn't work with latest
version when I tried it.) I just felt like mentioning it since Vim is
so hugely popular (news://comp.editors is almost 99% about Vim
questions).

Hey, if they say it works, it probably does. Good luck!
