If you have time to join the djgpp-workers mailing list (see instructions
on http://www.delorie.com/listserv/

There are a number of known bugs.  Several people are working on fixes
for the bugs discussed on the mailing list.  The most recent shared 
development source is based on the latest cvs source tree 
(see http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/cvs.html ).  There are "preliminary"
patches which are available in the mailing list archives, which haven't
been fully tested or break other things.  Andrew has been doing the
bulk of the Win2K work so far.  I'm trying to help on W2K plus test
on XP betas.

No, as a matter of fact the more versions we could test the more confident
we would be that we had a fix.
