What you've posted is an excerpt from the file 00_index.txt which can be found in the djgpp directory of any SimTel mirror. The problem with this list is that it doesn't give a hint about what files are required and what are optional, and also what features require what optional files to be downloaded. That's what bugs most newcomers to djgpp. The README.* files include some guidelines on the latter, but they are a bit incomplete, and IMHO should be updated. The list which I posted should be the recommendation to anybody who wants to have the ``usual'' features plus a decent development environment. In particular, the docs and the Info reader are frequently omitted by many people who then complain there is no documentation.
