The install script ran seriously wrong on Windows XP using
djdev 2.04.  The first time install ran the sequence was not
preserved, but the result left these files

-----m  root         3886 Dec 15 20:04 znew

-----m  root          510 Dec 15 20:04 gunzip -> \
  /dev/env/DJDIR/bin/gzip


in /dev/env/DJDIR/bin

We see that the djdev 2.04 facility with links has been
wrongly exploited.

make -k install was run to finish installing the other files
with the above files remaining in bin.  This time a different
assortment was left in bin.

-----m  root          510 Dec 15 19:21 gunzip -> \
  /dev/env/DJDIR/bin/gzip
-----m  root         5517 Dec 15 19:39 gzexe
-----m  root        77816 Dec 15 19:39 gzip.exe
-----m  root          510 Dec 15 19:21 zcat -> \
  /dev/env/DJDIR/bin/gzip
-----m  root         2300 Dec 15 19:39 zdiff
-----m  root         1728 Dec 15 19:39 zforce
-----m  root         3202 Dec 15 19:39 zgrep
-----m  root          252 Dec 15 19:39 zless
-----m  root         2100 Dec 15 19:39 zmore
-----m  root         3886 Dec 15 19:39 znew

To get at the original errors, these files were removed from
bin.  The excerpt from the install log follows:
