Howdy,

  Please forgive me if this topic has been hashed over before.  I looked
through this group, but I didn't see it.  I would search more exhaustively,
but since I'm not asking a question, I don't feel like it :)

  I (today) went through the task of upgrading to djgpp v2.  Previously, 
I had used v1 w/DOS, and a week ago, I upgraded to Win95.  My program
compiled fine using v1 gcc.  However, gdb no longer worked - it complained
about dpmi, and all the various incarnations I tried all failed in one way
or another.  

  So I got the bare minimum v2 stuff (djdev, gcc272, bnu252? [and gdb]) 
and installed - nothing would compile - gcc appeared to be encountering a
segmentation violation.  In fact, it would cause a MFU
about 50% of the time, and Windows would demand that I reboot.

  I got the FAQ, and read through it, and noted the
suggestion to use -v.  This also seg viod right away.  Finally, in desperation,
I tried to compile on the command line, instead of with make, and it worked.

  I went and retrieved the new version of make, and everything now works
perfectly.

  So, I would like to make the following suggestion:  for the readme.1st file
in the v2 directory, I think that mak373b.zip should also be a mandatory
file to download, if you've recently upgraded to Win95.
  
Thanks,
 John
