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.
