Subject: Nit picking. (Typos in the README and a question about STUB)

In 1.08, which I d/l's some time ago (8/20) and just got around to
looking at today, in the README, I noticed the following things:

	1) The minimum system is listed as being DJDEV107 (!),
		DJGAS138, and DJGCC222
		a) Should be 108
		b) Don't you also need DJGPO222 ?
	2) Because many of the doc files are duplicated among the files,
	   the PKUNZIP instructions given should include "-o".
	   (I know it sounds stupid, but this catches me everytime I
	   install the package.)

Also, observe:

	TMAP_NEW EXE    16641   9-03-92   2:29p
	TMAP     EXE    16675   9-03-92   2:46p
	TMAP            10531   9-03-92   2:29p

TMAP is my A.OUT, TMAP.EXE was created with AOUT2EXE, and TMAP_NEW.EXE
was created by brute force concatenation of STUB.EXE (current version is
6110 bytes) with TMAP.  Just out of curiosity, what is the difference?
(Both .EXE's seem to work)  I looked at AOUT2EXE.C, and noted that it
seemed to be doing some kind of padding of the bytes from STUB.EXE (I am
also reasonably up-to-date on what BIN2BYTE does), but couldn't
figure out exactly how or why AOUT2EXE was doing what it was doing.
