> clio.rice.edu has released djgpp binaries that should run on windows 2000

Actually there are two sets of images there - one set is an updated v2.03
release (with some distributions updated) and the other is a work in 
progress CVS (to be 2.04 someday) release.

So, for us to figure out what's going on, we need the date and size from
each EXE image you are talking about.

The 2.03 update provides a bash 2.04 while the cvs/2.04 provides a bash 2.05.
There have been several releases of bash with the same numbers, so it's
once again important to know the date and size.

I haven't noticed this doing builds on Windows 2000 (I don't even have a
\bin directory).  But my distribution isn't exactly clean either.
