-Windows 95 & Windows NT users:

+As of today (3 March 1998) I've removed the 

+Win95/NT executables from this distribution, sorry.

 

-1.  There's a pre-built executable, bzip2.exe, which

-    should work.  You don't need to compile anything.

-    You can run the `test.bat' batch file to check

-    the executable is working ok, if you want.

+You can still get an executable from 

+http://www.muraroa.demon.co.uk, or (as a last

+resort) by mailing me at jseward@acm.org.

 

-2.  The control-C signal catcher seems pretty dodgy

-    under Windows, at least for the executable supplied.

-    When it catches a control-C, bzip2 tries to delete

-    its output file, so you don't get left with a half-

-    baked file.  But this sometimes seems to fail

-    under Windows.  Caveat Emptor!  I think I am doing

-    something not-quite-right in the signal catching.

-    Windows-&-C gurus got any suggestions?

+The reason for this change of packaging is that it

+makes it easier for me to fix problems with specific

+executables if they are not included in the main

+distribution.

 

-    Control-C handling all seems to work fine under Unix.

+J
