well, then, what _is_ the name of the file it can't find?

as per your other post, note that djgpp programs will not be able to see 
long file names under NT, see 

http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq3_3.html

when you do an ls in djgpp\include, how do the names come up? for 
example, do you see

sysmacro.h

or

sysmac~1.h

in the list?

in addition, as I have asked before, what did you use to unzip the files? 
from readme1st:

 On Windows/NT (NT version 4 and below, not W2K!) use an unzip
   program which does NOT support long file names if you not plan on
   using the LFN TSR, as DJGPP programs cannot access long file names
   on NT4 without the TSR.  Again, unzip32.exe will do The Right Thing
   for you, so using it is recommended.


again, i have never used djgpp in NT, went from DOS to 9x to XP, so 
anyone with NT experience, please comment.
