@code{gxx} by default also links @code{libstdc++.a}.
@pindex gxx

@file{info/dir.txi} now has full file names for binutils, bison, and
find.

@file{include/dir.h} now packs @code{struct ffblk} in such a way that
g++ 2.7.2 works correctly.  Note that gcc 2.7.3 does not require this
change.

instead of all on one line.
@pindex echo

@code{_dos_ds} now has a limit of 4Gb instead of 16Mb.
@vindex _dos_ds

@code{_is_exec} (and thus @code{access}) check suffixes independent of
case, so @file{.com} and @file{.bat} files are executable.
@findex _is_exec
@findex access

@code{doscan} returns -1 when it should (and other doscan fixes).

@findex stat

The example in the @code{movedata} documention correctly lists
@code{_my_ds()} now.

@file{fsbd} and @file{edebug} shouldn't crash on long C++ symbols.
@pindex fsdb
@pindex edebug

@code{stat} returns the correct number of links to a directory.

@file{fsdb} doesn't crash with multiple directories of source files.

Command line arguments are not wildcard-expanded if they were passed
through @code{spawn*()} or @code{exec*()}
@cindex wildcards

@code{stdprn} and @code{stdaux} work correctly now.
@vindex stdprn
@vindex stdaux

Documentation for @code{dosmemput} fixed.

@code{popen} and @code{system} no longer leak file descriptors.
@findex popen
@findex system

@code{bdosptr} macro in @file{dos.h} is now protected better.
@findex bdosptr
@findex dos.h

@code{system} now flushes stdout and stderr (output used to get mixed up).
@findex system

@code{inp}, @code{inpw}, @code{outp}, @code{outpw} added to @file{pc.h}.
@findex inp
@findex inpw
@findex outp
@findex outpw
@findex pc.h

@code{_go32_dpmi_free_real_mode_callback} frees the right stack.
@findex _go32_dpmi_free_real_mode_callback

Anything in @file{libm.a} that used @code{scalbn} won't leak stack (like @code{ldexp}).
@findex libm.a
@findex ldexp

Most @file{stdio.h} routines rewritten for better text file handling.

@code{exit} won't recurse if a destructor calls @code{exit}.

flags to extensions.

@findex open

@code{system} supports redirection and pipes directly.
@findex system

@code{stat} bugfixes.
