Sorry, but my ISP news has just started to flow again after 5 days. As
such above is the only posting that I have of this thread.

The current LaTEX binary files are compatible with 2K or XP as they
were built with the original 2.03 LIBC. I have re-built enough of it
to generate the doc files that are required in the *d.zip files, but I
do not have the time to re-work it to build it fully.
