Please begin by downloading the DJGPP FAQ list (faq102.zip from the same
place you got the rest) and reading at least the first 3 chapters.  They
explain some basics, in particular what to download depending on what do
you intend to do with DJGPP.  As things are now, you lack some required
files (the compiler binaries in gcc263bn.zip and the maintenance releases
in dj112m?.zip).  After you get the files you think you need and install 
them as the FAQ explains in Chapter 3, read other chapters as your 
questions arise.  For instance, after reading Chapter 12 you will 
understand why LDBG distribution doesn't need to include any EXE files.
