Hello.

Jim: struct stat on DJGPP does not contain st_blocks.

It just reports the value of st_blocks.

There is a configure-time check for the st_blocks and st_blksize members. If
st_blocks isn't present, but st_blksize is, I was going to make it return
st_size / st_blksize rounded up. If neither st_blocks nor st_blksize is
present, then I'm not sure what we can do: I was going to make it return 0.

Bye, Rich =]
