Subject: Bug in DJGPP under Windows 95 with workaround
Message-Id: <Pine.SUN.3.91.960303093248.18857I-100000@is>
Mime-Version: 1.0

People who use DJGPP under Win95, please note that there is currently a 
bug in the startup code of DJGPP programs which effectively ignores the 
LFN=n setting on DJGPP.ENV file.  This can cause problems with a few 
programs that depend on the filenames longer than 8+3 to be truncated by 
the operating system.  Two cases in point are Info.exe (which searches 
for `filename.info') and gcc (when you #include a header like 
<stdiostream.h>).

Until this bug is corrected, to work around it, you will need to set LFN=n
from your autoexec.bat or from the DOS command line.
