It's very likely I'm going to upload egcs-1.1.1-release archives very soon 
(maybe today evening). So some questions:

     I'm building egcs-1.1.1 with use of DJGPP-2.02 and for it. As  the
     result some hacking will be needed to get exceptions working with
     DJGPP-2.01 (similary as with egcs-1.1 earlier).

     Main differences against port of egcs-1.1:
            - I used target i586-pc-msdosdjgpp however binaries will work
              also on 386 and 486
            - Exceptions seems to work better than with egcs-1.1 (but still
              remains slightly broken when -fomit-frame-pointer is specified).
              However this needs additional testing.

	I can use name gpp.exe instead of gxx.exe but I still think that best is to
     remove gxx.exe from djdev202 and name exe file in gcc binary     
     distribution as gxx.exe

     I suggest following names of archives:
		egcs111s.zip  - sources
           gcc-e111.zip, gpp-e111.zip, objce111.zip, g77-e111.zip  -
                  binaries of all compilers (No source archives with such names
                  so missing 'b' at end will not harm I hope)
           lgp-e111.zip - binaries of libg++

     I'm using libg++-2.8.1.2a-19981114 (available from 
     ftp://egcs.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure and 
     ftp://yggdrasil.com/private/hjl). Only problem with this library is
     that 'make install' is slightly broken and I didn't have time to fix it.  
     I didn't see other problems.

     I think archives should after upload be placed in v2gnu/betas/egcs-1.11
     and moved to v2gnu/egcs-1.11 when DJGPP-2.02 will be officially 
     released. I hope there will be no need to rebuild corresponding to
     my experience with port of egcs-1.1a where I used patched alpha version
     of DJGPP-2.02.
