Is this the latest and most complete concerning the DJGPP support nmalloc
archive available?
http://www.classiccmp.org/cpmarchives/cpm/mirrors/cbfalconer.home.att.net/download/nmalloc.zip
Have we all patch concerning this issue collected somewhere?
I have been inspecting the djgpp worker archive and from time to time
there we published patches.  Have them been integrated into the latest
nmalloc.zip archive?
