From time to time people on comp.os.msdos.djgpp ask where they can get certain
utilities, e.g. 'rm' or 'sort'. Keeping the from lines in the directory index
may help them find the package they need.

The index you posted looks good to me. But I'd like to see some other entries
for:

* the French translation of the FAQ;
* bzip2;
* GMP, the GNU multi-precision arithmetic library;
* gettext and iconv, the GNU internationalisation libraries and tools.

Clearly the French FAQ's entry would go just after the English FAQ's entry.
bzip2 could go just after gzip's entry. GMP could go in a 'GNU C libraries'
section, just before the current 'GNU C++ libraries' section. gettext and
iconv could go in the programmers' tools section, but perhaps they should be
in a section of their own.

It would be nice if there was an entry for Perl too, but that doesn't come
with any info docs. Oh well.

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
