You mean there are situations where it would work without wrestling?
I must say I'm very glad I subscribed to the newsgroup, though - with
your help it was a breeze ;-)

I've never experienced such a long delay - I *still* haven't seen your
postings in the newsgroup. Are you sure there is no problem with the
gateway? I don't know if it adds any headers, but I haven't found a
single posting in the newsgroup (I checked the last 50 or so I got) that
had headers indicating it originated from a mailing list.
OK, the whole makeall.bat runs fine now after making the alterations
you suggested (and a few similar ones). I've created the libc reference
in HTML (on my Linux box, using texi2html). I've zip'ed it up and made
it available for download on my web page; the zip file is about 142 kB,
the unzipped HTML file about 660 kB. The URL is:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~gklein/index.html. If anyone wants to (and can)
copy it to the main djgpp page, be my guest.
(Oh, and I've also got a function using int 0x25 to read disk sectors
working now - using _dpmi_int, as you suggested). I'll be searching for
the bugs page soon, so I can get rid of the known bugs in the library.
Thanks for your help (you too, Nate),
Gertjan.
