So when making 32-bit DOS binaries available for download, I should make

or WIP) + slang-2.1.2?!

Thanks.

Also I would like to contribute a little `main.c' patch for DJGPP similar
to get_win32_root(). May I send it to the list zipped or in private mail?

And you're still looking for volunteers, aren't you? ;-)
