Hi there,

First off: DJGPP is just *GREAT* !! I downloaded the latest version yesterday and loved it from the first second!

However, I do also have a few questions that I couldn't get answered in the FAQs:

- I want to use the standard C++ library so I downloaded & installed lgp2811b.zip. The header files can be found but during link-time various externals are unresoved (i.e. Salloc() when using strings).
What library do I need to link?

- DJGPP natively supports LFNs under Win95 (great!!). But some functions still work with short names, i.e. findfirst() & findnext() [or am I mistaken here?]. I tried to use the bare DOS INT21/71xx interrupts to get this functionality. However, int86() does not translate pointers correctly for the 71xx functions....
What can I do? Is there a way to translate DJPP's 32-bit "pointer" into something that a DOS interrupt would accept?

- The FAQs mention that there are no INT21/71xx functions under WinNT so LFNs are not supported. Is there a way to access NT long filenames thru some other sort of DOS interrupt?

Thanks,

Tony
