Using DJGPP 2.01 in a DOS session under Win/Lose-95, I'm getting an
error message from ar whenever I try to make a library, no matter what
files or how many files I put in it:

	ar -rcv libfoo.a foo.o bar.o
	ar: libfoo.a: Illegal operation

and it leaves a file named:

	STAAAAAA

in the directory. If I just rename that file to be the libfoo.a that
I originally wanted I can successfully link programs against that
library.

Same problem trying ranlib (which I understand is just another way
to run ar).

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Fred
