Excelent. These should work better on 2K and XP than the previous versions.

This has probably been in there for a long time. I agree it should have the
colon.

Thanks for this. I have found a missed check in the main batch file which I
use to make the zip files in the Alpah release. The missing files do not
affect the re-building of any of the packages as I re-built all of the
packages on a different PC before uploading the final set of zips. The
DJ*.zip files were done by Richard.

There are a number of missing files that I found after adding the following
line to my batch file that produced the zip files:-
find @manifest\%1.tmp -type f -print

The results of the check are available from the following file:
http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/win2k/DJGPP_aLpha_1_missing%20files.txt

I will start looking at these missing files over the next few days to see
why they are missing. I would expect this to take until the end of the week
to sort out becuase there are a number.

Does this work okay on the GCC 3.2.2 release under Linux? If you have
allready upgrade to GCC 3.2.3 then does it occur with this version on Linux?
