Hello everyone, i am new to this list and guess i should present
me :-) I'm 18 years old, live in sweden, my name is Martin
and i haven't done any c/c++ coding, i'm learning me.
i normally code x86 assembler using MASM, but i'm gonna
swich over to NASM anydays now i think :)


Well, over to my problem. I have some compiling problems
with a huge source of a Nintendo 64 emulator called
TrueReality (www.snes9x.com/n64emulators/) wich is written
for Linux but has definitions for compiling under msdos,
wich is what i'm trying to do.

because the code is orginally written for a linux
workstation, long filenames is commonly used and
djgpp don't seem to be able to handle long filenames,
so i've changed all code (took me about 3 hours, yuck).
but, so maybe i won't need to do the same work later
in some other circumstances, can djgpp handle long filenames?
i runned djgpp from a dos box from win98 and it
produced errors, or if this feature is not in djgpp,
do anyone know if it's planned to be added in the future?
