Hi everyone, I dunno if this is a bug, a 'feature' or my botchyness...
When you have a program that takes command line args, and since DJGPP
automatically expands wildcards, if your running in Win95, and have some
files with long filenames that match the wildcards, DJGPP always gives you
the long file name, not the short one, even when LFN's are disabled, so if
you call something like fopen with the command line argument, the file can't
be found.
i.e.
A directory containing these files:
abc.pcx
cde.pcx
long file.pcx
fgh.pcx
And with a commandline of:
program *.pcx
would give all of the filenames as long if their long names, not the short
ones like longfi~1.pcx, etc.
Is this a bug? If it is or isn't, does anyone know of a workaround since
this is really annoying for my program.
Cya,
Richard Sim
