I have tryed to compile the updated version of fileutils (3.16), but
without success. The compiler (gcc version 1.7.2.1) is in the
../djgpp/bin directory  and works normaly. My OS is windows95. Below
is the output of the "configure" process (NOTE: Perl is not installed
on my machine.):

======================================================================

When i try to issue the same command again, it doesn't work, until I
close the dos box and come back again. May be there are some problems
whith the configuration of Bash (How difficult is it using the unix
style shell whith an msdos system?) . Once again the output below:

======================================================================

C:\usr\djgpp\gnu\filutil3.16>djgpp\config
Bad command or file name
. is not a directory
