Hi,

    If we want to mix and match different versions of things, what MUST
go with what? for example does the new (is it new?) assembler have to be
used with gcc2.01 or can it also be used with gcc 1.39? Can we still use
the new lib.a files from gcc 2.01 with gcc 1.39...(forget this question?)

    but we can use djgpp 1.06 with any gnu stuff as long as the gnu stuff
all matches (or is all of the gnu stuff upward and downward compatible?)

I personally have not had any problems with gcc 2.01 and don't plan on it (?)
but if I start running low on space and my make files (the programs actually)
keep growing at the rate they are I might wish to switch back to the faster
(yet less effecient?) gcc 1.?? either way I want to keep the changes of
djgpp (extender) like being able to open 255 files, can anyone tell me
what was added/changed in the stdlib's that might have, if any, effect on
go32/debug32?

thanks
