As usual, I'm coming at things from the perspective of porting from Windows heritage compilers etc., so I encounter things that others may not. In this case, I have been using GetShortPathName() prior to the spawnxx() call, so naturally the easiest fix to make things compile under DJGPP is to pose the question as I did. If there was, I would merely link with a different library, w/o source changes. However, I suppose I can write a "do nothing" GetShortPathName() of my own and compile it in or link to it only under DJGPP. Oh, I forgot to mention that I can't abandon totally the Windows heritage compilers. The product has to work for a range of different compilers, of which DJGPP is one. Getting off the original topic a bit, a recently encountered and very troublesome problem is lack of long file name support on NT. regradless of who's fault that is (I've read the FAQ), it's a bit of a setback for me. I understand that Cygnus does not have this problem. Ed Sowell Ed Sowell
