ftp://oak.oakland.edu/SimTel/vendors/djgpp/

Well, kinda freeware, but distributed under the GNU license.

<snicker> That IS djgpp. You don't need the entire buttload of stuff, but 
it's recommended (I believe). I mean, even if you wouldn't touch a 
utility named Bison with a ten-foot pole, get it. :)

In the FTP site I mentioed above, get 00_djgpp.txt, 00_index.txt, and 
readme.1st for the info.

>So can anyone either mail me djgpp (uuencoded, as I don't have MIME), 
>or please tell me what files I need to download.

Errrr. I doubt anyone'll mail it to you. It's, again, about 30 megs. 
Maybe your connect is fast enough, but you're better off FTPing it. Check 
those three files, and you should be able to get the barest essentials.

(If this sounds unpleasant, it's just because it's late and I'm tired and 
I'm going to bed after finishing with this newsgroup. Not intended as 
such.)
