Sorry, the binary package is not 2K and XP compatible.
I have configured and compiled it using stock simtelnet tools (djdev203.zip).
I have no access to 2K nor to XP so I have not tried to compile and test it
with the latest CVS libc. This must be done by you.

No, I have not send anything to the maintainer. IMHO it is not worth to be send
something to him until the package has not been extensively tested under the
different Windows/DOS versions available.
Last but not least, it should also be remembered that Eli wrote the code used
in this port. I have only modified it to get it working with gzip 1.3 and later version.
May be he want to inspect this patch before it is submitted and may be he prefers
to submite the patch himself.
