At least my experience with WinXP Pro shows that at least part of packages
(intended for Win2K/XP) from clio.rice.edu have serious problems.

For example don't use bsh205bb.zip from clio. Take 
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/betas/v2gnu/bsh205bb.zip instead.
I uploaded it some time ago to fix some critical bugs which were in version
from clio.rice.edu.

I can't remember all problems which I had with DJGPP under WinXP, and it took 
some time to get it working. At least I'm now building GCC for DJGPP under 
WinXP ...
