Well first you can get djp via simtel.net

check out: http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/ and goto the djgpp section,
browse around (in v2 dirs) for mlp107b.zip.

Second, it attaches a small stub program at the start of the compessed data
(your code) and decompresses it at runtime.  It's extermely fast
decompression (even on my 386).  If you are not debugging, or then I suggest
using it.
