no, but the german name for "program files", as it's over 8 characters, dos applications show the
abbreviated form, but Windows DOS box command prompt shows the long form; also long file name is set
to Y in djgpp.env and if that was the problem, it shouldn't have compiled in the first place.
But I try a standard c:\djgpp directory... only I must restart, beacuse somehow setting paths etc.
other than thorugh autoexec.bat is not saved; opening a dos box prompt and typing set always only
shows the standrad paths etc. .
