If you have access to a Windows 2000 or XP or just want to know what is
happening with the DJGPP compiler and Windows 2000/XP then please read the
rest of this email.

The unofficial  DJGPP Windows 2000 site url is
http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/win2k/main.htm. A full status report of where I
am up to is available online and is updated on a ad-hoc basis.

This weeks major milestones achieved in my opinion were:
1) All known LIBC bugs have been resolved.
2) All known LIBC source patches are now included in latest LIBC sources.

During this week is is expected that all of the binary files available from
the unofficial  DJGPP Windows 2000 site will be re-built using the latest
LIBC. Once this is done I will send out another email informing people that
this has been completed.

If you are not aware of what is available at the the unofficial  DJGPP
Windows 2000 site please read then following blurb:

The site contains allot of info which is designed to help developers get the
DJGPP compiler and associated packages working on Windows 2000 and XP as
quickly as possible so that they can help the out. The site also contains a
number of work in progress binary files for use on Windows 2000 and XP (and
Win 9x for crazy developers who want to test for backward compatibility
issues) .

The info and files at the site should allow DJGPP developers and users to
get the DJGPP compiler  working under Windows 2000 and XP very quickly, it
still requires you to download the packages from Simtel. The site is
accessible from DJ's site by clicking on the "Current DJGPP status vs
Windows 2000 (unofficial)" link under the Introduction section.
