Subject: ANNOUNCE: *alpha* port of GNU Gzip 1.3.3
Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is an *ALPHA* port of GNU Gzip 1.3.3 to MSDOS/DJGPP.
=========================================================

  The port consists of the usual three packages that can be downloaded
  from simtel.net and mirrors as (timestamp: 2002-05-21):

    Gzip 1.3.3 binary, info and man format documentation:
    http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/alphas/gzip133b.zip&name=gzip133b.zip

    Gzip 1.3.3 dvi, html and ps format documentation:
    http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/alphas/gzip133d.zip&name=gzip133d.zip

    Gzip 1.3.3 source:
    http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/alphas/gzip133s.zip&name=gzip133s.zip



  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================

  There are no new DJGPP specific features compared with gzip132[bsd].zip.
  The goal of this *alpha* port is to allow a mayor audience to test this
  port before the patches are submitted to the gzip maintainer for inclusion.
  This port is based on the alpha release of GNU Gzip available at:
    <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.3.3.tar.gz>

  All the changes done to the original distribution are documented in the
  diffs file and located together with all the files needed to configure
  the package (config.bat, config.sed and config.site) in the djgpp subdir.
  If you want to recompile the package, run the command:
    make
  Install the products running the command:
    make install
  And reconfigure the package, if needed at all, running the commands:
    rm djgpp\config.cache
    make distclean
    djgpp\config



  Send gzip specific bug reports to <bug-gzip AT gnu DOT org>.
  Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port
  to comp.os.msdos.djgpp or <djgpp AT delorie DOT com>.

Enjoy.
