You may have to enclose it in quotes. Otherwise, it will be treated as
a filename wildcard and expand to whatever one-letter file or
directory name you happen to have in the root of your hard drive...

Remember: '/' is the directory separator in Unix, and thus in DJGPP.

For checking, just write a small program that prints all its argv[]
strings. Then call it with 'prntargs /?', and see.
