Hi all,

I am not sure if this is related to djgpp or not, as I only use my computer
for djgpping, I suspect it is - I am compiling economy class, so my 4000
line program is s-l-o-w. If I get an error come up I simply abort the
compilation to save time.  Every few days, my hard drive fills up with
invisible files, which are essentially truncated versions of my code.  It is
easy to fix, (using scandisk), but a bit annoying, as I am very close to my
HD capacity and if it happens too much I run out of space.

Has anyone else had this problem or should I look for another i.e. nondjgpp
source (sorry about the pun :)).

TIA,
Charles.
