As I told before, my own DJGPP installation is in C:\Programming\DJGPP\
I haven't encountered any problems yet, but maybe because I haven't ever 
tried to run it from plain DOS.

Anyway, I have already uploaded v0.2 where SFN check is commented out 
so I will do something about it in the next release.
