Hi, (sorry for bad formatting, blame Google Groups!)

All of those worked fine for me under DOSEMU + FreeDOS.

(Tue Nov 19, 09:07 PM) /mnt/sda3/c/djgpp/manifest # cat {bsh205*,txt20b}.ver
bsh205bbr3 :  BASH 2.05b DJGPP 2.04 WIP (revison 3)
txt20b Text Utils 2.0 (W2K Test binary file)  

But I was using 2.04 /beta/ versions. I vaguely recall
Juan mentioning that he sometimes had to use 2.04's
cat.exe due to some obscure bug, but I don't know the
details.

It "should" work, but there is no wide consensus anymore
about which OS is best to use with DJGPP. With 2.03p2,
it was claimed to have been well-tested in "all
environments", but 2.04 was only mostly tested (AFAIK)
under WinXP. Anyways, there aren't enough volunteers
(testers, developers, release managers) to do much
else these days.

And of course it's much harder to find MS-DOS by
default(except via bootable floppy image via Explorer
via DISKCOPY.DLL). Thus I prefer FreeDOS (and don't
have XP anymore, and newer Windows are useless).
