Subject: Problem regarding long filename
Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com

I recently downloaded DJGPP and installed it in my computer.

I'm currently using Windows98 as my operating system, and since
DJGPP is for DOS only, I have to run it under DOS Shell.

The problem is the DOS Shell environment doesn't seem to support
long filename, and all the files with filename over 8 characters
will become somthing with a "~1" in the end.

And when I try to compile a source code which calls up another source
file, say,"streambuf.h", it would give me an error says "can't find
streambuf.h" something like that, since under DOS Shell the filename 
has already become "stream~1.h".

Is there any way to make the DOS Shell support long filename, or
Is there a purely windows version of DJGPP that can work under win95/98?


Thank you.
Griffen.
