Hi,

I am still trying to build the docs for which 2.13, but it looks like I may
need to update Tex to do it. In order to build Tex I need to re-build Flex.
I have re-built flex 2.5.4, but then checked to see if all of the exe's were
built and found the following symlink files were not created (these are in
the v2gnu\flx254b.zip file on simtel) :
    Archive:  t:/v2gnu/flx254b.zip
      Length     Date   Time    Name
     --------    ----   ----    ----
         2048  20-04-00 02:03   bin/flexpp.exe
         2048  20-04-00 02:03   bin/flexx.exe
     --------                   -------
       205824                   3 files

How were these created? My guess was they were done by hand. Are they needed
if the original flex does not have support for them?

Further Info:
=========
I greped for all references ti flexpp and didn't find any in the flex src
directory as indicated here:

    DJGPP_204 D:\dj204\gnu\flex-2.5-4>grep flexpp ...\*.*
    main.c:    or "flexpp" instead.  Avoid confusion due to the .exe suffix.
*/

Notes:
====
By the way there is a Flex 2.5.4a release, but the differences can be
summarised into three catagories and the outcome is that the 2.5.4 that is
available for DJGPP is up to date. The three catagories are:
1) Change to license block in alot of the files
2) Additional files for DJGPP build
3) Modifications for DJGPP build

Regards,
Andrew
