The "cp", "mv", "ls", "mv" ... commands, comming with DJGPP 2.01
have a funny behaviour.
Example:
cp lib*.a ..
leads to a message:
d:/djgpp/bin/cp: libtcp.a: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
It took a long time since I found out it was no good idea to
name the development directroy "d:\dev".
There may be some reasons for that behaviour but
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
tell the users about this knowwn bug/feature at a significant
place or better:
put a simple test for
X:/dev/... (where X is an abitrary drive)
to a batchfile (setdjgpp.bat?) to generate a warning
understandable by a nonhacker.
I just know, how to get around the problem, but others will
get into the same truble.
