Well, I didn't read all the posts before replying to your first post, so
I guess I'm equally at fault. ;)

Anyway, you need to upgrade ALL your files.  There are three reasons,
aside from the obvious:

1) The handling of long command lines changed from v2.00 to v2.01, and
all programs built with v2.00 must be recompiled with v2.01 to utilize
them.

2) The Win95 long filename handling improved from v2.00 to v2.01, and
old programs may break in strange ways.

3) Miscellaneous library code changes and bugfixes mean that old
programs may interact improperly with new ones in other ways besides the
above.

All of the files on SimTel have been updated to go along with v2.01, so
you just need to find and download the latest versions of everything you
already have.
