It was working when I posted it to Alaric.
What was the problem you encountered and how were you usinging it.

Just thought of something! Are you using djgpp v2.01 with the new
binutils (2.7)?
If so that MIGHT be the cause of your problem.  The new ld automatically
stubbs coff files unless told otherwise.  To tell ld otherwise, include
the '-oformat coff-go32' option on the command line, or use a linker
script that has 'OUTPUT_FORMAT("coff-go32")' as the first line of the
file (same as the linker script in DJDIR/lib)

Hope this helps
Bill
