Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU Make 3.79.1 uploaded
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com


This is to announce that the DJGPP port of version 3.79.1 of the
GNU Make package is available from SimTel.NET mirrors worldwide:

 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/mak3791b.zip
 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/mak3791s.zip

Make is a program for building other programs, given a description of
the dependencies between the files.

This is a minor bugfix release.  The only two bugfixes that are worth 
mentioning here are:

  - Make no longer crashes on Windows 9X if the program it ran triggered 
    an FP exception (e.g., by division by zero).  This problem is caused 
    by a bug in Windows, whereby the FP exception is delivered to the 
    parent program instead of the child.  With this release, Make will 
    print "Floating-point exception" and continue as usual.

  - You can now reliably install the distribution after building it in a 
    directory other than the default %DJDIR%.

The package also includes the *.dsm files for use by the zippo project.  
People who use zippo or work on it are encouraged to check this out and 
send in comments.

See the file NEWS in the distribution for user-visible changes.

Please direct any further discussions about this port to 
comp.os.msdos.djgpp news group (or write to its e-mail gateway 
djgpp AT delorie DOT com).

Enjoy.
