Thanks for this. I did a compare of the two zips (the one I downloaded on
the 15th and the one a few mintues ago) becuase the zip fiels varied by 6K
which I thought was a bit big. I found that the new zip included a djgpp.env
in the root which if unzipped would wipe out the existing djgpp.env file if
unzipped without checking first if you allow zip to overwrite all the files.

There are allot more of this. I have been caught a few times.

This seems so obvious, but what have I missed :-
 return strcmp((const char *)e1, (const char *)e2);

TEST RESULTS #2

I have done so far two complete rebuilds of all of the packages at clio with
the makefile mods and have encounted no problems.

I have download the partially fixed version and will do another complete
build tonight.

Tomorrow I will play with the tests and see what I can do to some of the
packages that use the libiconv like grep 2.5.1
