Eli,

I have produced a which 2.12.1 source and binary release that is based on
the GNU 2.12 plus the which.c changes for DJGPP and the patch that you sent
out in September. I called it 2.12.1 as it is not the GNU 2.12 release, but
a modified verison for DJGPP, is this okay?

Both files are available at http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/win2k/main.htm for
testing purposes.

How do I produce the files that are needed to produce the doc package? I
could not see how to produce the files in the 2.11 doc package from the
makefile, I may have missed something.

I have included DSM files, but I don't know if they are correct or not.
Could someone please check the DSM files out and send me updates if they are
wrong.

Andrew
