This is the README.1ST file for DJGPP Version 2, currently in Beta.

I recommend you install DJGPP V2 in a separate directory from DJGPP V1
until it is out of beta, just in case you cannot work around bugs you
find.  This version is not officially supported, and is being made
available as part of the testing phase of djgpp development.

Status and other information are made available through the djgpp web
pages at http://www.delorie.com/, through the djgpp news group
(comp.os.msdos.djgpp) and djgpp mailing list (subscribe through
listserv@delorie.com).  Look on the web page for information on the
latest versions.

Report bugs through http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/beta/

If you do not have web access, mail bug reports to
djgpp-v2-bugs@delorie.com, where someone will manually enter them into
the web-based bug tracking system.

For anything else, send me mail (dj@delorie.com).

Version information is in manifest/*.ver within each zip.  Contents
are in manifest/*.mft in each zip.

If you got these file at anywhere other than an official FTP site
(listed in info.ftp at the ftp site), please send me e-mail.

Existing binaries from V1 can be used for other applications.  V1
programs cannot run V2 programs, so make and gcc are being made
available as V2 programs.

You must also provide a DPMI environment.  Look for CWSDPMI at the
beta sites if you don't have DPMI already (it's in os2, nt, win3.1,
qdpmi, 386max, etc).
