Hello All,

I have several questions for experienced users from a new user of djgpp.
I hope you can help.

1. If you call getcwd(buf,255) you will get the current working directory
   but without the DOS drive. Is this a bug, an intentional feature or a
   temporary abberation which will be fixed. I would like to know before I
   make lots of changes to my existing code to accomodate this inconsistancy
   between djgpp and the other DOS compilers.
2. The usleep() function does not appear to do anything. Is this a known
   problem ?
3. Is there in the supplied libraries a function that does the equivalent
   of stricmp() [string compare ignoring case] ?
4. Will a program compiled with djgpp be able to communicate with a real
   mode TSR via an interrupt ? The intention is to call Personal REXX from
   within my editor compiled with djgpp.
5. Has anyone recompiled dmake38 with djgpp 1.10 ? If so could you point
   me to where I can obtain a copy. If not I will do so myself.
6. For those of you who use PDCurses, a new version is available which
   supports djgpp 1.10. These changes were made by Peter Kunst. The
   latest PDCurses is available from ftp.gu.edu.au in /src/PDCurses
   directory; called pdcurs21.zip. (Thanks Peter for changes)

Many thanks for taking the time to read this.
Mark
