Okay, reinstalled everything under pure dos, set lfn=n, no problem.

I'm still having a problem with absolute paths, though.  The following
works:

#include "file.ext"
#include "/file.ext"
#include "../dir/file.ext"

But the minute I add a subdirectory to an absolute path:

#include "/dir/file.ext"

It doesn't find the file.

Also, is there a file somewhere in which I can list a dozen or so include
directories to look in, and avoid supplying paths in the source code
altogether?
