Binaries of gcc-2.95 are already uploaded and are already in ftp.cdrom.com. There were long delay with mirroring them from delorie.com to ftp.cdrom.com and perhaps I don't want to ask DJ this once more now (I was practicaly not able upload files to ftp.delorie.com, therefore I asked DJ to get them from me). Now the remaining thing is to send announcement to djgpp- announce. Anyway I think it will be in gcc-2.95.1 when such will be released. (I hope that will not take too long time). Andris
