You should tell us exactly which solutions you tried. Maybe you missed the right solution, or maybe you didn't apply the solution correctly. Also, did you look it up in the FAQ? At least in version 2.11 of the FAQ this problem is well documented. > I've compiled through DFE and DOS using gcc gpp gxx and they > all give me the same error... despite the fact that the file > is where it says it isn't.

Actually I doubt it, but it's impossible to say unless you post it. However, try typing `set LFN=y' at the DOS prompt before compiling. If that solves the problem, your autoexec.bat was not fine -- add the `set LFN=y' line to it, and all should be well. Don't forget to reboot. > If you could please help me out, and it works, I'll write a > web page that explains how to fix it and send it to Brennan > (and you can refer to it as well).

I'll be very surprised if your problem can't be solved in the same way as everyone else's problem. There is another twist to this though; if you're working on NT then you won't be able to use long filenames at all, and in this case the solution above won't work. You need to use a DOS unzip program that truncates long filenames to 8.3 format if you're either working on NT or working in plain DOS. -- george DOT foot AT merton DOT oxford DOT ac DOT uk xu do tavla fo la lojban -- http://xiron.pc.helsinki.fi/lojban/lojban.html
