I did download all my version of DJGPP via FTP sites.

Here's a question:
A file has surfaces converted to TXT instead of what I am
definately certain was a   .info  file; how much of that file
would I have to post before someone can identify the
_actual_ file as bundled with a DJGPP distribution?

I could pkzip the file and post it in its entirety, but that
would involve posting an attachment.

Why be so curious about this?  "BCC" / "Borland" are very
prominently mentioned throughout this entire document;
but I seemed to have lost the original file as release by
that particular djgpp package... so I am quite curious now.

THANKS!

ps: We have discovered that  printf("%12.12s", str);
works as we needed it to in DJGPP 2.953, however
under Borland bcc32 5.2 it fails to actually truncate
the string if it exceeds 12, this was a disappoint, and
another thing, BCC32 5.2 _dos_findfirst/_dos_findnext
return a truncated Long_Filename !! unlike the proper
way that djgpp does it.
I expect _dos_findfirst/next to return *SHORT* genuine
dos names, and *NOT* do what bcc32 is doing!

Learn something new all the time !!

Here's a questio
