: Ah-hah, but at the time I wasn't comfortable with alpha-software, and the other solution was to use ActivePerl, which doesn't have the command-length limitations.  Therefore, not only have I not compiled the patches, but I don't even have the sources.

: I think I'm after:
: a) The sources (please, Eli -- I should have listened to you in the first place...)

Search the mail archives for them at
<http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/mail-archives/>. They are probably in
djggp-workers.

: b) Some advice on what I need to make/remake, and what I could break if i get it wrong.

Get v2/djlsrc203.zip and unzip it. Read the readme file(s). Make sure
you have all the necessary tools. Go down into src and type "make". If
on WINDOZE repeat last sentence until the libraries are built (the
shell will crash after a while because of a WINDOZE bug).

Rebuild some programs to verify your new libraries are working.

Apply the patch. Repeat the build procedure.

:> (BTW, you need to configure your mailer/poster to break long lines.)

: Sorry -- MSOutlook (enough said).  How is it now?

Not good.


Right,
