This problem has been annoying me, and I was just wondering if it is a
bug or just something wrong on my side.

Here is the problem:

  I am running RHIDE under Win95 through a shortcut.  When I specify
RHIDE to use long filenames (RHIDE -y), it initially does not.  To get
the long filenames, I have to DOS shell from the RHIDE IDE and run it
again, using RHIDE -y again.  Only then will the long filenames work.

Am I the only one with this problem, or is there some solution?

I am using RHIDE v1.0, running whatever the latest version of DJGPP/GCC
is currently.

Thanks for any comments, suggestions, solutions, or whatever in advance!

Al
