Two things.

First, you'll probably be better off putting them at the root rather than the Programs 
folder.  (Mostly the linker's fault.  Might be resolvable, but I've never bothered trying. 
  Works well from C:\ so I let it be.)

Second, the 'dm' from dmd.zip is actually /meant/ to overwrite the first one.  :)  So let 
it.  Seems unintuitive, I know... but the data from dmd.zip is the actual D compiler, 
while that from dmc.zip is the backend, which happens to also be the backend to DMC 
(DigitalMars C/C++ Compiler).
