I will delete them and try a clean build. If that works > OK I'll remove them from CVS. While we are on this, here are 2 other todo items related to djtz*.zip that I never got to take care of: - make zoneinfo/src/makefile produce formatted man pages in %DJDIR%/share/man (this probably requires some intelligent detection of whether Groff is installed); - zoneinfo/src/makefile runs `yearistype', a shell script as part of its thing, and thus requires Bash (and a few other utilities invoked by the script) to be installed. It would be nice to be able to build zoneinfo files without Bash and the additional programs, since the rest of the library build doesn't require any add-ons. The script is quite simple, so perhaps it's not too hard to eliminate the need for it. Perhaps someone will have enough time and motivation to do something about these 2 issues before v2.04 hits the Web sites. TIA
