Well, I wanted the latest / greatest I could find while still cramming it as small as possible. No, there's no C++ or C99, but it's good enough for most C apps (can compile TDE, Info-Zip, NASM 0.98.39, CWS-ED, WMemu, probably GNU Emacs too if you add mv and sed, etc).

* djgpp203.7z (main archive, fits on a 1.44 MB floppy w/ 7zdec.exe)
* djgpp203.txt (readme/changes)
* dj203lst.txt (list of all files)
* dj203-7z.txt (.BAT used to make the .7z archive)

And to comply with the GPL, here's the full sources for everything: bnu2161s.tbz, gcc2953s.tbz, fil41s.tbz, djlsr204.tbz, djlsr203.tbz, mak3791s.tbz, wmemu21s.tbz, csdpmi5s_u.tbz, csdpmi6t.zip, xgrep103.zip, ezedit20.zip, d3x-090h.zip

Note that I really should've perhaps put all those sources in one big file to make it easier to download it all. I also experimented with not using .tar inside the .7z, but not sure about that (7zdec doesn't unpack dirs, so I'd have to manually mkdir/move via .BAT, and some filenames conflict). But it's not hugely important, I guess. (Nag me if interested.)

P.S. I recompiled (for Win2k fixes) and put on my website w/ srcs: 2.7.2.3 twice (DJGPP and DJ's heavily-unfinished 16-bit target hack), 2.8.1 (oops, I removed it, ask if interested), and 2.95.3 twice (DJGPP target, MOSS target).
