gcc cannot pick up the headers with names longer than 8.3, although it finds
short ones.  I am running NT 4.0.   The faq says:
First, some of these systems (such as WinNT) do not even support the LFN API
for DOS programs. But even if LFN API is supported, e.g. on Win95, DJGPP
won't know that it should support LFN until after it read DJGPP.ENV--it's a
chicken-and-egg problem.

does this mean that long header file names are not supported at all by gcc
under NT?
thanks,
