I don't have kb.info.  The only packages I got were grep, less, fileutils,
tar, and gzip.  I also tried install.exe but it proved useless.

It is 358.  I just tried 340 and it gave me the same problem.

I also ran into another problem: if I have a cmd.exe window set up to have
more lines than are in the window, so I can scroll back, any attempt to run a
djgpp program causes all the scrollback to be gone with the scroll bar
starting at the top again.

At least the long filenames work on Windows 2000.
