I had already installed DJGPP at work and it worked fine (Windows 2K).  I
installed it at home on my XP system and it didn't work.  I installed it at
home on my Vista machine and it didn't work.  I took my Vista laptop to work,
copied the complete install from my W2K machine onto my Vista machine and it
now works.  I have no idea why.  I did all of this installing over a period of
3 days so I don't think I was doing anything differently each time.  I don't
need it on my XP home machine so I deleted it.

As a hardware engineer, I find all this very puzzling but its now all working
so I'll move on.  Do I need to file an update to the bug or can you just close
it out?

Thanks for following up.

Did you follow the zip-picker instructions?  You have to use a djgpp-aware
unzip program to install, or the filenames get all messed up.
