   HOWEVER (sorry for the shouting Steve :-) I have seen references in this 
   thread to some documents which are not, to the best of my knowledge, 
   included with the djgpp distribution.  Am I wrong?  Say so.  I think it 

Many of the documents are not included in the distribution AFAIK.
But...

   would be useful for those of us who are not into the GNU loop outside 
   djgpp if the distribution included pointers to those documents.

... the messages you saw mostly included such pointers, I believe.

   It _is_ hard to learn a new debugger along with a new development 
   package, and we need all the help we can get!

Granted.

I have culled the archives for references to DJGPP-compiled and
DJGPP-add-on packages, and am in the process of making that list
available on my server.  At the moment it's quite a mess, but better
than nothing, I should think.  Many of the URLs have not been
verified, either, so caveat emptor.

I will do the same for docs URLs.

Request: If you are fairly sure that some package or document
*actually exists*, let me know about it.  If you have a good URL,
please send that along.  If you don't, *send me the request anyway*.
If you want to go ahead and search for it yourself, thank you very
much! but if you're not sure when you'll get around to the search,
pass it along.

Also, recommendations for "Best of Breed" in tutorials, textbooks,
standards documents, references, etc would be welcome.  Short
annotations would be included in a bibliography, longer reviews could
be made available too.

All of the above documents will be in the djgpp/doc directory on
Yaseppochi-gumi.

Once all this is somewhat beaten into shape, it could be added to the
distribution, I guess.
