Subject: Getting Started w/ DJGPP 1.12

I just pulled down the principal binaries and doc archives
for DJGPP 1.12 from the Simtel archive last week.  I've read
the latest FAQ (1.02) from top-to-bottom.  I just installed
the compiler/library/util/doc files from the archives and am
about to start a few simple test programs to verify operation
of the compiler.  I've also visited DJ's Web site and am 
obviously a subscriber to the DJGPP mail list.  Having done
all of this, I'm nearly ready to become a serious user of
DJGPP, but have a few unanswered questions:

1)  Which maintenance patches must be applied to bring the
Simtel files up to the latest rev level ?  I got my GPP/GCC
system from ftp.coast.net itself, so it shud be the absolute
latest and greatest, but I'm uncertain if *all* of the patch
files from this site (112m1 thru 112m4) shud be applied to
this rev of the compiler.

1a)  I presume 1.12m4 is the final patch before the end of
the DJGPP 2.0 beta cycle.  I was a bit confused since DJ
has a link on one of his Web pages that refers to the *1.11maint5*
rev, along w/ the pointer to the 2.0 beta. I guess that even
though the 1.11m5 HTML page has an update stamp of Nov 95, it's
probably obsolete, instead of it being a numbering error.

2)  Does anyone know of pre-bilt Objective-C classes on the
net ?
