Thanks Eli and Charles for your help.  Unfortunately I tried all your
suggestions without success. I'm using the DJGPP 2.04 ALPHA version and I
assume that all the fixes from V2.03 refresh have already been incorporated
to V2.04 ALPHA.  Nevertheless, I first tried resetting LFN=n in the
djgpp.env and after that didn't work, set it back to LFN=y and installed the
LFN TSR (ntlfn08b.zip) successfully but I'm still unable to compile using
"-d d:/documents/johnny" (or to any path longer than 9).  I appreciate very
much your help, however I think I'll just change my Makefile to compile
without the -d flag and then just move the files to the appropriate
directory using mv.

Thanks again for your help.
