I'm seeing some LFN support problems with the mv and info commands. As
far as I know, I have the most recent version of DJGPP files. I guess
it's possible I made a mistake and grabbed a version 2.00 file by
mistake since the 2.00 and 2.01 files are mixed together on the simtel
archive. The mv command is dated 10/22/96 and the info command is
dated 10/24/96.

A paste from the dos screen follows for the mv command.


C:\download\TEMP>mv test.f test.bak
d:/djgpp/bin/mv: cannot move `test.f' to `test.bak': No such file or
directory (ENOENT)

C:\download\TEMP>set lfn=n

C:\download\TEMP>mv test.f test.bak

C:\download\TEMP>mv --version
mv - GNU fileutils-3.13


The info command will not find the file specified with the -f option.
An example follows (the command works with lfn=n):

C:\download\TEMP>set lfn=y

C:\download\TEMP>info -f g77
info.exe: g77: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

C:\download\TEMP>info --version
