Works OK for me. I specially tested not only with installation I'm 
normally using but special one for tests ( gcc295b.zip, gpp295b.zip,
lgpp295b.zip, bnu281b.zip, djdev202.zip, djtzn202.zip only, no changes 
after unzipping)

Do You actually have djdev202.zip installed? There were special 
workaround in port of gcc-2.8.1 which enabled use of exceptions
with v2.01. This workaround is dropped in ports of egcs-1.1.2 and
gcc-2.95.

 It's also mentioned in readme.djgpp that djdev202 or above is required.
