- perl with only 565k memory is not very useful. (^_^)

- # Unfortunately the perl.386 has problems with little things like changing
- # drives and the 'utime()' command... I use both, and Im very careful when

-
- I recompiled perl386 with a newer version of DJGPP.
- I know it fixed some problems, but I don't know about others.
- It should be arriving at the umanitoba.ca ftp site soon.
- (I don't know what other ftp sites it is kept at.)
- I also built an a2p for 386, and it is included.
-
- # Now if someone would just merge the two..
-
- I don't know enough about MS-DOS..
