Well, any program compiled with djgpp v2 supports long filenames unless it is explicitly turned off (LFN=n). To good thing about this is that the same executable also works on normal DOS etc, while e.g. win32 console applications don't (e.g. with bcc32 or Watcom). I would guess that rebuilding an application that was previously compiled with emx with djgpp2 should be simple. bye, Alexander BTW. Does the long filename support of djgpp also work on OS/2? This would certainly make djgpp the most usefull development system in the one executable fits all category. -- Alexander Lehmann, | "On the Internet, alex AT hal DOT rhein-main DOT de (plain, MIME, NeXT) | nobody knows alexlehm AT rbg DOT informatik DOT th-darmstadt DOT de (plain) | you're a dog."
