This is a port of GNU Which 2.20 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

 DJGPP specific changes.
 =======================

 The DJGPP port of Which will search for a program name given as argument to
 the program, and if it can not find it, it will add the well known DOS exten-
 sions to the given program name and starts again the search along the path.
 The known build-in DOS extensions are the four extensions known by the DJGPP
 port of bash 2.05b, these are ".exe", ".com", ".bat", ".btm".  If a program
 e.g.: "foobar" can not be found on the path then Which will also search for
 "foobar.exe", "foobar.com", etc. along the path.  The list of DOS extensions
 can be extended by setting the environment variable WHICH to a list of exten-
 sions separated by blanks, commas or semi colons.

 Please note that the distributed source package has been configured for
 djdev203.  If you use WinXP and you want to rebuild the binaries, you will
 have to reconfigure the source package from scratch.  As usual, all the
 djgpp specific files (config.bat, diffs, readme files, etc.) are stored in
 the /djgpp subdir.

 To be able to configure and compile this source package, you will need to
 install libsupport 5.2 or later.  The library will provide a fixed version of
 realpath() and _fixpath() that are required to produce correct canonicalized
 paths.  You can download this package from ftp.delorie.com or mirrors:
     ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/lsupp52a.zip
 Of course, if you are not interested in compiling the sources you do not need
 to download and install lsupp52a.zip at all.

 For futher information about GNU Which please read the info docs and the NEWS
 file.
