        I have version 3.02. All stuff I' using is from the DJGPP
distribution
at simtel, I try to keep up with the last versions. By the way, I tried
sed
and gsed(renaming it) an it didn't work as well.
         The error was "Error in line 1: Unmatched '{'". What I did is
to put
all the match in a single line it looked like:

# Replace "test -f" with "test -x" so that e.g. gcc.exe is found.
/for ac_dir in \$PATH; do/,/IFS="\$ac_save_[Ii][Ff][Ss]"/ { s|test -f
\$ac_dir/|test -x ac_dir/| }


        Then the complaint was: "Error in line 2: Unrecognized 's'
option".
The original pattern was:

# Replace "test -f" with "test -x" so that e.g. gcc.exe is found.
/for ac_dir in \$PATH; do/,/IFS="\$ac_save_[Ii][Ff][Ss]"/ {
  s|test -f \$ac_dir/|test -x $ac_dir/|
}

        I tried do use dtou and utod sometimes but it didn't change the
behavior.
Looking in the info files for sed I was unable to figure out what this
script
is supposed to do. Does "for ac_dir in..." is a command or a simple
string to be
matched against?
        I thing you should know that I'm using win95 with fat32 enabled.

        In the configure script a specific test is made for some feature
then
in the source files this test split in  AIX like machines and others.
        But Tcl has a built in variable Tcl_platform. In the version I
compiled
it
looks like: { OS_Type MS-DOS OS_Version 10.7 Machine pc }. I don't know
about
the version but the rest is beautiful.

        Thanks,

                                        Edevaldo
