Your contributions are always welcome, but you did not
upload your zip file to delorie.com as explained in:
<http://www.delorie.com/howto/djgpp/djgpp-upload.html>
to make it available to all users at the standard place.
Because binutils is an essential package and you have reported
GPFs I have decide to replace inmediatly.
Again, porting and maintainig efforts from every one are welcome.

No objections from my side but there are two conditions:
- djtar.exe
- unzip32.exe
Both programs are and will be the standard unzipping programs.
At least as DJ does not decide something different. If both are
able to unzip archives produced by ADVZIP, I will give it a try.
Can you point me to the home page.
Is it open source/free? Are there copyright issues?
