I compile some stuff on 98/95/NT and Linux of course.  I agree that the lack
of
long filenames is troublesome in that on one particular note you cannot name
libraries
the same so that every thing compiles the same i.e. portable code which I
though was the intent of djgpp in the first place.  However I live with that
fact because I
did need some way to develop C++ code that was portable on many platforms
including Linux/98/NT.  As far as moving to CYGNUS.  I Have CYGWIN32 but
I am not happy about the runtime file requirements.   So for my CYNUS is not
the
answer.
