Subject: gzip-1.3.2 alpha port available for testing.

I have uploaded an alpha port of GNU gzip 1.3.2 at simtelnet.
The binary and source packages are available at v2gnu/alphas.
I have adapted the patches from the gzip 1.3 port to this version,
so there are no new djgpp specific features in this port.
The package has been configured and compiled using stock tools.
It has been configured, compiled and tested  to some extend
on plain dos and win98se. No nt40 nor win2000/xp testing at all.
No configuring and compiling using CVS libc.
As usual all the djgpp specific files have been placed in the djgpp subdir.
