There still seems to be one problem: UPX compressed DJGPP executables (built with last GCC versions) fails to run if uncompressed. For example I uploaded binaries of port of gcc-3.2 compressed with UPX. If one uncompress them, for example 'upx -d gcc.exe' , it no more runs. Bug report submitted (for UPX). The problem is present with latest version of UPX (1.23). I don't think it's so serious that I should reupload binaries already compressed with UPX, but maybe we should not make a new ones before this is fixed. Andris
