I have discovered a bug in the DJGPP port of Texk package which only
shows on Windows 95, and only in the C emulation of the MakeTeX
scripts.  The bug caused some of the MakeTeX programs (MakeTeXls-R is
one of them) to access incorrect drive when testing whether the
filesystem is case-preserving.  In particular, if you were running
from drive C:, MakeTeXls-R would access drive B:, which on a
single-floppy systems would switch the DOS box to full-screen mode and
display the ugly DOS prompt to insert a disk into drive B: and press
any key...

The source patch is appended below.  I have uploaded the corrected
sources (kpse30s.zip) and binaries (all the *b.zip files) to the DJGPP
archives on SimTel.NET.  If you use TeX on Windows 95, you should
consider downloading the patched binaries.
