Please read the generic README file first. Note in particular:

  copy gzip.exe to gunzip.exe and zcat.exe, or use "gzip -d" to decompress.
  gzip386.exe runs much faster but only on 386 and above; it needs go32.exe,
  available in omnigate.clarkson.edu:/pub/msdos/djgpp/djdev110.zip

If you get the message "Cannot exec go32.exe" when running gzip386, check
that go32.exe is in a directory included in your PATH. For example:
   PATH \djgpp\bin;\dos
For other problems related to DJGPP, read the documentation provided
in djdev1110.zip. If a problem occurs with gzip386.exe, check first
if it occurs also with gzip.exe before reporting it.

The two programs gzip.exe and gzip386.exe give different compression ratios
because the 16 bit version (gzip.exe) is compiled with -DSMALL_MEM to
reduce memory usage. When compiled without this flag, all versions of
gzip give exactly the same compression ratio.
