Hi,

Just new to using DJGPP, I'm finding the wildcard expansion extremely useful
when passing arguements to programs I write, however they always get
converted to the short 8.3 format (using WinNT), as in I need to pass the
wildcards as wildcards of the short versions, not of the long versions, I
don't mind so much if they're converted from there into short versions, but
it'd really make things a lot easier if I could just pass them in the long
version on the command line. Is there a way to get around this? A setting?
Or any trick or suggestions?
It'd really be much appreciated.

Cheers
Kris
