The title says it. I've never attempted this kind of operation before, 
having just unzipped the djgpp binaries previously. Has anyone tried this 
yet, or is this one of those things you're not supposed to try at home?

Anyway, I've got the sources, and I saw there was a configur.bat, which I 
looked at. It appeared to require a single input parameter, go32, which I 
supplied when I ran it (this appears to call 'configure.bat' in the 
msdos subdirectory - I changed that to configur.bat to match the actual 
file name). It created some header files but failed in 
the sed operations that involved top.sed, with the diagnostic 'memory 
exhausted'. I'm using the gnuish sed program.

The diagnostic suggests that I've run out of RAM? I have 8 Mb. With the 
source files installed, I'm also getting close to the limit of my hard 
drive's capacity (still over 20 Mb left, but I feel constrained).

Any thoughts?
