Web based news? Thanks, but no thanks. If I were going to use such an

Sounds sensible. In this case, though, that should have meant around 1

Also, it doesn't seem to do that all the time. I have sometimes
aborted the linker with ^C and been left with an unusable exe file,
not the old version of the exe file.

Some ill-behaved programs have been known not to do so. Of course,
DJGPP tools tend to be well-behaved.
