The minimum V2.01 system is:
* djdev201
* gcc2721
* bnu27

(I'm not sure running bnu252 or gcc272 is fatal)

>From V2 to V2.01, "djgpp.lnk" was renamed to "djgpp.djl"

gcc.exe reads rules from "specs" which was adapted to mention "djgpp.djl"
instead of "djgpp.lnk"

Unfortunately, GPC (gpc.exe) reads it's rules from "specs.gpc", which, in
Peter's alpha DJ binaries, still referred to "djgpp.lnk"

Since Peter probably installed djdev201 over djdev200, he probably has
both "djgpp.lnk" and "djgpp.djl", hence didn't notice the problem.

So, please do _NOT_ rename your djgpp.djl to djgpp.lnk, this only prolongs
the confusion. Edit "specs.gpc" to make GPC use djgpp.djl. Get rid of
"djgpp.lnk"

Hope this thread is finished now...
