Why does it not work? How does it fail?

I suspect it may fail, because you are mixing programs that support long
filenames and those that don't. Windows NT 4 does not provide the relevant
interfaces that DJGPP uses (the LFN API), whereas Windows 2000 does. You could
try installing an LFN TSR for Windows NT 4, to see if that helps. There is an
LFN TSR for NT on the DJGPP archive on Simtel.NET: v2misc/ntlfn08b.zip.

Also, are you really using filenames with wildcard characters in them (?, *)?

Regards,
