What is the full path of the file "tea44458.ors"?  link() doesn't work
for files on different drives, so I need to know where does the
original file reside.

The slashes won't cause any trouble.  But I don't understand the part
about invalid characters: I don't see any invalid characters in these
two file names.

How do you invoke the program from the DOS prompt?  What is the
command line?  Could you also print the argv[] array from within the
program and tell me what does it say when the program is invoked from
the DOS prompt and from another program?

Also, please tell me which version of DJGPP do you use.  Is it v2.01
or v2.02?
