This document explains how to build XZ Utils for DOS using DJGPP.
The resulting binaries should run at least on various DOS versions

- XZ Utils is recommended under Windows 95 and later.

Getting and Installing DJGPP
You may use <http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html> to help

- not be the most convenient way taking into account what components
- are actually required to build XZ Utils. However, using the
- zip-picker can still be worth doing to get nice short summary of
- installation instructions (they can be found from readme.1st too).

v2misc/csdpmi7b.zip
If newer versions are available, probably you should try them first.
- Note that djdev203.zip is too old to build XZ Utils; you need at
