I tried the set REPOSITRY=g:\archives (where I archived the source from the previous version of UX2BS) and it is still trying to DL them all.
Also noticed XFree/86 ver 4.4 is DLed while the current version is 4.5

It should be 

REPOSITORY=g:/archives  (forward slash)

Thanks for pointing that out - I'll update it.

Subject:   Help with scummvm configure script

Hi All,
hopefully there's someone here with some decent knowledge of configure 
scripts :)

Scummvm (www.scummvm.org) has the following in it's configure script for 
detection of the sdl graphics library:
	
	for path_dir in $_sdlpath; do
		for sdlconfig in $sdlconfigs; do
			if test -x "$path_dir/$sdlconfig" ; then
				_sdlconfig="$path_dir/$sdlconfig"
				echo $_sdlconfig
				break
			fi
		done
	done

This fails - partly because the path separator was defaulting to : not ; 
(now fixed) but also because the \ are interpreted as escape characters. 
  Any ideas on some simple code to fix this?

Personally I think the scummvm people would be better just running 
'sdl-config --version' and checking the string returned rather than 
checking each path entry separately but they like their code <sigh>

Cheers,

Paul.

PS a working binary of scummvm is at http://smedley.info/os2ports.html

I can't help you with that but I'd like to say a big "Thank you" for
having a look at this. OS/2 needs more fun! :-)
