Ok. Let me explain. d:/djgpp is my v2.01 version, which AUTOEXEC.BAT
sets up everything for when booting (DJGPP and PATH). In e:/djgpp.202
I have the v2.02 version, along with a .BAT file the sets up
everything (DJGPP and PATH) to use that directory. When I want to
compile with v2.02 I simply run that .BAT file, and everything is
sunshine! Ok?

Hmm, the size is correct but not the date. Anyway I unzipped
txi312b.zip again and it still core dumps:

The offending instruction seems to be "movb %gs:(%eax), %d".

How can I see what the info is set for a certain segment in gdb? I
mean "p $ds" shows me what %ds is set to, but not it's base and
limit?
Another question: "p *$eax" (or perhaps it was "p *($eax)") let me
look at the contents at the address %eax points to, but what command
lets me look at the contents at the address %gs:%eax?

A question on the version number: why is it called txi312b.zip and not
txi3012b.zip, as this would make it clearer, perhaps, that it is newer
than txi309b.zip?

Last, I tried to compile txi312s.zip myself to add debug information,
it don't. Perhaps I've managed to miss-compile my libraries? Any
advice?
