Yes. Its sources are in djlsr, in directory src/utils, if memory serves.

??? Does that mean you have a 'gxx.exe' in those snapshots? If so, it's
probably a bad idea to include it at all. But I may be wrong here.

This sure looks as if you actually use a gxx build by the gcc sources,
i.e. the equivalent of the unix 'g++' binary. That's really not too
good an idea, I suspect. The 'gxx' of DJGPP is a specialised product,
and you shouldn't substitute the Unix-borne g++ for it.

This probably means: "Robert and/or DJ: hurry to submit any patches you
have sitting on your shelves to the FSF."
