Hi,
   Just a few comments from me. Probably not useful, feel free to
ignore, but ....

Is this true? I thought older was 2.16 or greater, have they bumped
that? Anyways, the .DSM files still say 2.16. (Of course they also
mention simtelnet-path: and I'm pretty sure Simtel doesn't host DJGPP
anymore. Does anyone even use .DSM / pakke these days? I don't.)

Oops, that URL should say gcc452.README.

Okay, I know you're probably too busy to update such texts, I'm just
mentioning it for completeness:

"Requirements to use this binary release:
...
binutils-2.16 or above"

So it claims 2.16. I don't know what 2.17 does any different,
anything?

"I built it in DOS session under WinXP Pro (SP2)."

Should probably say Vista Business (SP2).

"       Win95, Win98, WinME or Win2K should be OK. I myself haven't
tested
	whether it can be build under Win98, Win2k or Win2K."

Obvious typo, presumably "Win2k" means WinME. (That's been there for a
while, in various older releases, I just never bothered nitpicking to
mention it.)

> Binaries are built and tested mostly under Windows Vista Business (SP2)

Okay, here you mentioned Vista.

And also same issue with Ada 2.03p2 vs. 2.04 (last time I weakly
tried). Hmmm, I wonder if Gautier's 3d engine still builds.

Speaking of that, why are the .info files now located in /share/
info/ ?? Seems strange.
