hmmm ... there should definitely not be such a file in the djgpp\include 
directory. did you put it there? if so, take it out. djgpp\include is for 
header files that come with djgpp, not your custom headers.

i suspect this has nothing to do with / vs \, and more to do with the 
lack of long filename support on the NT (although I cannot verify that 
because I do not have access to NT). what did you use to unzip the 
distribution files? what does the program you are trying to compile look 
like?
