Can't be! Both were latest snapshots! (I can compile 1.0.4 examples with

Maybe problems were wrong directory structure, or ppc386.cfg. Can you do
'dir c:\pp > dirstruct' and send it to me and your ppc386.cfg also. GNU
tools which I have are from 1.0.4 distribution... Are they too old? I have
done everything what "Make cycle" faq says.
