QUESTION 1:

I have started to use  djgpp.  I also ftped the binary utilities
that come with it.  One of these was 

djtarx.

 Now I assume that this is a tar extraction program.  My question
is does this program actually work?   I tried to untar a 
file called gsmsdos.tar  (  was originally ghostscript-2.6.1mosdos.tar.gz)
and I got nothing but error messages of the form:


can not open file gs261/gs.exe exclusievely
enter new file name:


I get this same error for every file in the tar distribution.


Is this a common error or am I doing something wrong.


QUESTION 2:


I ftped the sources for dvips and attempted to build them
using djgpp.  Now the makefile is written for gnu make,
but I use ndmake as suggested in the djgpp faq file.

When I type make I get this error.


gcc -DEMTEX -DMSDOS -DSYSV ... -c filename.c -o filename.o 


and I get the following error from gcc:


can't open file: <-DEMTEX> 


I see two causes for this problem:

1.  I need to completely rewrite the makefile for ndmake and
    gnu make.

2.  I am doing something completely stupid and can't figure
    out what it is.




Any help is appreciated,



mike
