I have begun uploading the FIRST BETA of DJGPP V2!
I suspect it will be well into tomorrow before I get it to all the
sites that will carry it, since I only have a modem, and it's 23 Mb
with sources.
I will make another announcement when it is fully available. PLEASE
WAIT.
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ now has all the beta pages enabled,
including an interactive bug tracking system. It also has the beta
release already, but PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD FROM DELORIE.COM. My
server cannot handle that kind of traffic.
You can, however, get listings of the zips to see what to anticipate.
I've also attached the short readme and FTP info files from the V2
distribution to this mail.

README.1ST
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the README.1ST file for DJGPP Version 2, currently in Beta.
I recommend you install DJGPP V2 in a separate directory from DJGPP V1
until it is out of beta, just in case you cannot work around bugs you
find. This version is not officially supported, and is being made
available as part of the testing phase of djgpp development.
Status and other information are made available through the djgpp web
pages at http://www.delorie.com/, through the djgpp news group
(comp.os.msdos.djgpp) and djgpp mailing list (subscribe through
listserv AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu). Look on the web page for information
on the latest versions.
Report bugs through http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/beta/
If you do not have web access, mail bug reports to
djgpp-v2-bugs AT delorie DOT com, where someone will manually enter them into
the web-based bug tracking system.
For anything else, send me mail (dj AT delorie DOT com).
Version information is in manifest/*.ver within each zip. Contents
are in manifest/*.mft in each zip.
If you got these file at anywhere other than an official FTP site
(listed in info.ftp at the ftp site), please send me e-mail.
At the time of writing this file, the various packages are:
djdev200 Development Kit and Runtime (required)
djlsr200 Base Library Sources
djtst200 Test Programs
mak373b GNU Make 3.73 for V2 (recommended)
mak373s GNU Make 3.73 sources
gcc263b GNU GCC 2.6.3 for V2 (recommended)
gpp263b GNU G++ 2.6.3 for V2 (no libs)
obc263b GNU ObjC 2.6.3 for V2
gcc263s GNU GCC 2.6.3 sources
bnu252b GNU binutils 2.5.2 for V2 (recommended)
bnu252s GNU binutils 2.5.2 sources
gdb412b GNU Debugger 4.12 for DJGPP V2
gdb412s GNU Debugger 4.12 sources
lgp262b GNU libg++ 2.6.2 for DJGPP V2
lgp262s GNU libg++ 2.6.2 sources
txi310b GNU texinfo 3.10 for DJGPP V2
txi310s GNU texinfo 3.10 sources
Existing binaries from V1 can be used for other applications. V1
programs cannot run V2 programs, so make and gcc are being made
available as V2 programs.
You must also provide a DPMI environment. Look for CWSDPMI at the
beta sites if you don't have DPMI already (it's in os2, nt, win3.1,
qdpmi, 386max, etc).
