=09Hello.

Why doesn't the included program work correctly?  It is supposed to deter=
mine=20
file sizes by dumb method, and does it under Linux. But when I tried it w=
ith=20
the latest DJGPP, both in DOSEmu and Windows 2000, it gave wrong numbers =
for=20
almost any files.  I've discovered this problem when I tried to test the=20
abilities of DJGPP by entertaining with my old school project, a Huffman =
file=20
archiver.  It worked fine under Linux, but cannot work at all under DJGPP=
