I've recently installed djgpp v2.02 on Win95 and while it is working OK
in most aspects there is one problem I can't get sorted out. Perhaps
someone here could help me.
I dowloaded the files recommened by the Zip Picker. When I decompressed
them most of the files were fine, but two gxx.exe and cxxfilt.exe tried
to overwrite an existing one. This is obviously becuase each of them
occur in two separte zips.
My problem is which one do I keep?
I've tried the obvious things - the files are different as even though
they show the same version number they have very different file sizes.
Has anyone else had these problems. I don't know exactly wha relies on
these programs so I don't what to use the wrong version and so mess up a
program which depends on these files.

Here are the details of the two files:

CXXFILT.EXE
from bnu281b.zip archive:
    cxxfilt.exe 31/12/97 55,808 bytes
     version 2.8.1
from gpp281b.zip archive:
    cxxfilt.exe 06/06/98 65,024 bytes
    version 2.81

GXX.EXE
from djdev202.zip archive:
    gxx.exe 13/12/98 70,144 bytes
    version 2.81
from gpp281b.zip archive
    gxx.exe 22/10/98 132,096
    version 2.81

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Finally, has anyone any hints on whether to set the DJGPP environment
label using UNIX forward or DOS back slashes?
