Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP beta port of GNU Gettext 0.10.35
Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is a beta port of GNU Gettext 0.10.35 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

DJGPP specific changes.
=======================


1) The conflict existing between the gettext function from DJGPP's libc.a
   defined in conio.h and the gettext function from libintl.a has been
   removed. The gettext function is available as gettext or gettext__.
2) xgettext will recognise gettext__ as new keyword.
3) All other changes concern the BINARY/TEXT file issue, path separator
   (semi-colon instead of colon) issue and the directory separator issue.
   All programs that read ASCII files (like the .po files) will read and
   write in binary mode. This should prevent possible difficulties with
   embedded Cntl-Z and CR caracters in multi-byte strings. ASCII input files
   with MSDOS-style EOL (CR/LF) will be converted to UNIX-style EOL.
   Some minor modifications to the files in tests subdirectory
   to get them working with plain DOS.
   All changes I have done against the original GNU distribution
   are documented in the diffs file stored in the DJGPP subdir of
   the source package.
