I for one would rather read a faq and download the file(s) clearly 
listed in it rather than rely a script - even if there are a few of 
them  and they are not in the same directory. 

Yes the first time I did it I forgot a file (make I think) but when 
it did not work I re-read the FAQ, slapped my forehead and went 
online and downloaded what I did not have. 

IF new users (I am one) read the FAQ then they should be able to 
download and get djgpp working without any problems.

Thats my two cents worth
