I have seen that jumping to the top >symptom in Netscape with that FAQ. No, it actually says #Top in the HTML source. Have I got an old version of the FAQ? I simply got my DJGPP set-up from one of those "what to download" sites (probably via www.shareware.com). It is version djgppV2.02 . Various MAKEDEFS files are dated 4/98 and 5/98. 1. If You Are In a Hurry

Q: Do you really mean I have to read this looongish FAQ list to get my answers?

Q: I have this problem which I absolutely MUST solve NOW! What do I do?


A: No, you don't need to read all of the FAQ unless you want to (although this is by all means recommended). The questions in this document are listed, as much as possible, in the order they appear when one goes through getting DJGPP, installing it and using it. To quickly find an answer to your question, first look at the Table of Contents. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Again, I repeat that in the (out of date?) version I have, the next two names don't link UNDER NETSCAPE because they contain spaces. They work on MSIE, but "back" doesn't work properly on MSIE -- a known problem of MSIE. -- ^-^-^-@@-^-;-^ http://www.xemu.demon.co.uk/ (..)__u news:alt.smoking.mooses happy as a clam at high tide -. <_" .-._.-.
