: The files are relative to the stock gdb-4.12.tar.gz distribution.

	Opps! gdb-4.14.tar.gz 

: Note they have MSDOS \r\n line seperators.
: 	My changes can be found at delorie.com/pub/djgpp/contrib/gdb414pa.zip

	Its there now!

: , and omnigate.clarkson.edu/pub/msdos/djgpp/pub/gdb414pa.zip.

	Not there! How to upload go omnigate?


: 	Note termio has not been completed, so the files in gdb/readline
: do not work as advertised. For MSDOS, you'll have to use the gdb V4.13
: readline library that has lots of hacks to work with go32. Or you can
: yHUSE the special readline lib included in the DJGPP source distribution
: of DJGPP V2.0-beta, GDB V4.12 . 

	I keep grappling with myself whether i should take the easy way
out and require that people load ansi.sys, or use the bios to provide
the required termios functionality. Comments?


: 	My files also have duel debugger hooks included. I wonder if the
: maintainers of gdb would consider making the gdb comment char "##" so
: it doesnt conflict with duel's "#" operator?

: 	At this point, the changes are mostly 'clean', with dos specific
: files included, a dos readme, and changes to the go32 target files. 

	Also some base files need to be changed so gdb will interpret
the MSDOS style 'PATH' variable . Dont think i've included these changes
yet.

: 	Anyway with a bit of fiddling, its fairly straight forward to
: make a gdb.exe with duel debugging extensions. The gdb.exe seems to function
: reliably.
