Win98SE and WinXP are not Win2K.

On all OSs except Win2K, apparently.

Is anyone here running djgpp Perl 5.8.8 on Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional?  If so, does perldoc work for you?  If you launch Bash
and type "perldoc perl<CR>", do you get an error message saying:

   Error in tempfile() using c:/djgpp/tmp/XXXXXXXXXX:
   Could not create temp file c:/djgpp/tmp/zkQ06tqlcH:
   Invalid argument (EINVAL) at
   /dev/env/DJDIR/lib/perl5/Pod/Perldoc.pm line 1483

or does it work fine?
