I'm installing DJGPP from scratch. 

I started with the DJDEV202 beta, then BNU281, TXI312, GCC281 and finally
GPP281. When installing it (I mean, GPP281) I had two collision:
cxxfilt.exe and gxx.exe. The 'old' cxxfilt is from BNU281, is actually
older by six months and a little smaller: clearly it seems superceeded by
the cxxfilt provided with GPP281. I assume similarly that the newer gxx
from DJDEV202 superceeds the one from GPP281, but I'm not completely sure,
since it is almost half the size of the former and GPP281 is fairly
recent, 22/10/98. Am I correct?

Am I also correct in having understood that the outcome of the discussion
about which specs and .djl files to use is of using those wich cames from
DJDEV202 instead of those from GPP281?  

Finally, the readme from GCC281 *strongly* advise to make a change to
DJGPP.ENV, deleting the [gcc] and [cpp] because the path settings provided
there are no longer necessary. Still the DJGPP.ENV which came with
DJDEV202 has those sections and a loth of path settings there. What is
advisable to do?

Many thanks,

Marco
