This is version 2.11 of the FAQ list for DJGPP.  DJGPP is a port of
the GNU C/C++ compiler and GNU development tools to 32-bit,
protected-mode environment under MS-DOS and compatible systems.

To install the on-line versions of the FAQ, you should unzip the
`faq211b.zip' archive with PKUNZIP -d command from the root directory
of your DJGPP installation tree.  (On Windows 9X use an unzip program
that supports long file names.)  The FAQ in the Info format will be
extracted into the info/ subdirectory; other files will be extracted
to the FAQ/ subdirectory.  You should add a menu entry to the info/dir
file which leads to the Top node of the FAQ; you can find the line to
add at the beginning of `djgppfaq.inf' file.  The easiest way of
adding the FAQ menu entry is by using the `install-info' program
(which is part of the GNU Texinfo package, v2gnu/txiNNNb.zip), like
this:

     install-info info/djgppfaq.info info/dir

Once the menu in info/dir was updated, you can browse the FAQ by
e.g. invoking the stand-alone Info reader info.exe from the DOS
prompt, like this:

     info faq

Alternatively, use a text file browser to read `djgppfaq.txt' or a Web
browser to read `djgppfaq.html'.

If you need to search the FAQ for a specific subject, look up that
subject in the two large indices at the end of the FAQ.  Inside Info,
pressing the `i' key will cause Info to prompt for a subject, and
display the first section that refers to it; pressing the comma `,'
key repeatedly will then display the rest of the sections which
discuss that subject.

For those who are familiar with the previous versions, the file
WHATSNEW.faq describes the changes in this release.

The HTML version of the FAQ was tested with Netscape (versions 1.2 and
3.01) and with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.

Ready-to-print versions of the FAQ are available in the `faq211p.zip'
archive.  Currently, you will find there a PostScript version
`djgppfaq.ps' suitable for any PostScript device; a PCL version
`djgppfaq.lj' suitable for printing on LaserJet4 or better printer;
and a DVI file `djgppfaq.dvi' that can be used to drive any other
printer or device, provided that you find a DVI driver for that
printer or device.

If you want to create the FAQ list in other formats, or change its
Texinfo sources and regenerate the FAQ, get the file `faq211s.zip'
from the DJGPP archives and use the appropriate target of the Makefile
therein.  You will need the following programs to build the various
FAQ formats:

	- GCC and DJGPP C library
	- GNU Make (any version)
	- Makeinfo 3.12 or later (from the GNU Texinfo distribution)
	  (on Unix systems, you will need Makeinfo 3.13 or later)
	- GNU Sed (you *must* use GNU Sed!)
	- TeX and DVI drivers from the Web2C distribution version 7.0
	  or later

Please note that you *must* use the LATEST upload of the GNU Texinfo
distribution ported to DJGPP, as previous versions had subtle bugs
that would prevent the FAQ from being correctly converted into some of
the supported formats.

If you have comments, corrections or suggestions for inclusion
in the FAQ list, please mail them to <eliz@is.elta.co.il>.  Be
sure to include in your mail the version number of the document
to which your comments apply (you can find the version at the
beginning of the FAQ list).
