90 DSMs exist in the 553 ZIPs in my mirror of the DJGPP archive.

The zippo source tree contains 145 DSMs. Some of these are duplicates -
I've updated some DSMs in the zippo source tree. I'm pretty sure I've told
the authors of the updated DSMs, so that they can include them in their
next release.

Maybe we should move the DSMs from the zippo source tree into the actual
package files? The DSMs can be viewed from the web - no need to look in
zippo CVS:

As these get incorporated into updated packages, please tell me, so that I
can remove them from zippo CVS. A few source DSMs may need updates to have
the correct dependencies for building, etc.

BTW the DSMs for sh-utils 2.0 call it "Shell Utilities". Unfortunately
this will break upgrading from sh-utils 1.12, since that is called
"sh-utils" in the DSM. What is the correct name for sh-utils? Is it
sh-utils or shellutils or Shell Utilities? Whatever it is either me or
Prashant will have to fix a DSM.

Bye, Rich =]
