Your email worked but I was in Tuscany (between Florence and Siena) 
for some days.

 I cannot reproduce this error. Under Win95, "windres ...." works
 without any problems. Anyway, it seems that your cpp (the C pre-processor)
 has some problem to communicate to windres. Infact:
 a) the last lines that you see "MdiAccel ...." are the last lines
    of wincons.rc pre-processed by cpp (VK_X -> (88), RRR_PASTE -> 109).
    This should not appears on the screen but should be piped (I suppose
    via a temporary file) to windres.
 b) on the contrary, a possible interpretation of the last message
    is that windres dosn't get anything.
 Now, when I downloaded egcs-mingw32-1.02, the C pre-processor was
 broken under Win95 (it didn't find any include files). So I replace
 it with the one from egcs-mingw32-1.00. And this seems to work.
 In the meantime, I have seen that Mumit Khan has tryed to fix the problem:
 a new cpp is available at
  ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/mingw32/releases/fixes/).
 If you haven't already done, I suppose that you have to download it.
 If you will have no luck, you can try with the cpp in egcs-mingw32-1.00.
 If you want to avoid to download all the distribution (some megas) I can 
 make it  available.

  The egcs-mingw32 distribution is self contained. In particular, it
  contains also the Gnu Windows api.
