Hello.

Unfortunately there is an error in the binary package's DSM:

bash-2.03$ zippo -qpi mak3791b.zip
Warning: Available zip path [2]: 'j:/zips/gnu/djgpp' not found
Warning: Available zip path [3]: 'h:/zips/gnu/djgpp' not found
mak3791b.zip: Line 55: Unknown directive 'built-in-post-install-script'
Error: Unable to parse DSM

'built-in-post-install-script' should be 'builtin-post-install-script'. It
might be worth downloading the binary distribution of zippo:

http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/zippo/#dl

There is a program called dsmcheck, which can be used to check the syntax
of the DSM. Unfortunately the latest binary distribution is a little
behind the current source version. Nothing in the DSM parser changed
between patchlevel 12 and 14, so this version should be good for checking
DSMs.

When I start work on zippo again (after this long pause), I'll try to make
binaries of the latest version available.

Bye, Rich =]
