Source distributions downloaded from one of the GNU FTP sites need
-some more work to unpack. First, you MUST use the `djtar' program to
-unzip the package. That's because some file names in the official
-distributions need to be changed to avoid problems on the various
-platforms supported by DJGPP. `djtar' can rename files on the fly
-given a file with name mappings; the distribution includes a file
-`gdb/config/djgpp/fnchange.lst' with the necessary mappings. So you
-need first to retrieve that file, and then invoke `djtar' to unpack
-the distribution. Here's how:
-
-
- djtar -x -p -o gdb-5.0/gdb/config/djgpp/fnchange.lst gdb-5.0.tar.gz > lst
- djtar -x -n lst gdb-5.0.tar.gz

+
+If the argument to `djunpack.bat' include leading directories, it MUST
+be given with the DOS-style backslashes; Unix-style forward slashes
+will NOT work.
+
+If the distribution comes as a .tar.bz2 archive, you need to unpack it
+as follows:
+
+ bnzip2 gdb-5.0.tar.bz2
+ djtar -x -p -o gdb-5.0/djunpack.bat gdb-5.0.tar > djunpack.bat
