Subject: DJVERIFY 0.32a uploaded to ftp.delorie.com/incoming (vrfy032a.zip)

In response to a number of requests for minor bugfixes, and until Mark
Habersack and I can figure out what is wrong with his CPU code that makes
it crash on my computer, here's a minorly updated version of DJVERIFY.

I would appreciate it if people would try it out on as many different
machines as possible, to see under what circumstances the CPU code crashes.
If anybody has a solution, that would be even better.  :)

From "djverify.doc":

		     ---===   VERSION CHANGES    ===---

Version 0.32 alpha:
    *Known bugs*
	- The CPU detection code inexplicably crashes on certain 486 CPUs.
	  If you can figure out where the bug is, I'd gladly accept your help;
	  otherwise work is in progress on new CPU code.

    *Bugfixes*
	- Fixed a NULL pointer bug in pathname() that was triggered if any
	  DJGPP files weren't detected.
	- Added a define to the makefile to eliminate use of the buggy CPU
	  code, so the other DJVERIFY features can be reliably tested.
	- Certain correct installations erroneously triggered the DIAG_BADPROGS
	  error, specifically those that did not have an old 'go32.exe'.
	  Hopefully, this feature is working now, but to hedge my bets, I
	  changed the error to a warning.  Please report any further erroneous
	  behavior.
