I'd really like to know how to disable the '@' switch that DJGPP uses in
command lines to take the contents of a file and place them on the command
line... I'd like to use it as my own switch.

In case you are unfamiliar with what I am refering to, here is an example:

C:\> myprog @myfile.txt

by default, GCC compiles so that "myfile.txt"'s contents are placed in the
command line.  I'd like disable this, and I don't have the patience to read
through the rediculously long and complex man file.

Please CC/Email me your post, I don't know if I'll have a chance to visit back
here to find the responses.

Thanks in advance,

I thought so, but it seems I was wrong. I just checked it again. Now I
uninstalled the 2.7.x distribution with the rm command again, just to be sure.
Then I reinstalled 2.8.1 again (I never downloaded 2.8.0 so this can't be a
problem) and the bug is still there.
