Hi,

N.B. Google Groups is misreporting the author here (Eli?).

I didn't think this was a serious issue. And it's very hard to debug
from guesswork without trying or seeing it yourself. Are you willing
to try to ssh into his machine? Do you want to check out his entire
project's sources and try to rebuild it?

I'm just saying, DJGPP has enough to worry with, but worrying about
minor tools is probably not (yet) top priority. Anyways, at the
very least, such things (Find or File+Txt+Shl) should probably
be recompiled with 2.05 *before* trying to debug anything.

I didn't catch that meaning, but maybe you're right. Again, I just don't
think it's realistic to worry about literally every minor nit here.
Certain things have to be higher priority.
