If you mean source-level compatibility, then that's NOT true: sources 
which work with v2.0 should also compile unaltered with v2.01.  You might 
only have problems if you used some headers from the include/libc 
subdirectory (which are only for compiling the library).

The only other caveat is to not mix executables from v2.0 distribution 
with the v2.01 ones, since subtle changes in invoking child programs can 
bite you in some (rare) cases.

In sum: get djdev201 and the binaries of every DJGPP package you use.
