You mean, when I install DJGPP on a FAT partition, then it works? Because I really did this with all my DOS stuff, so I'm able to access it when I boot to DOS as well. I didn't try to specifically use long filenames, but I unzipped everything with long filenames and set LFN to yes. The compiler never complained so I guess it works. :) But tomorrow I chek if it also can handle LFN. > This only happens if you are using NTFS (which I think is not the > case, above). I am using NTFS but not on the partition my DJGPP stuff resides. --- best regards Gerhard Gruber email: sparhawk AT eunet DOT at g DOT gruber AT sis DOT co DOT at FIDO: 2:310/81.11 Spelling corrections are appreciated.
