Hi,

I wrote a program in C++ using djgpp / Rhide.  This
program uses the "fopen" statement to open a file for
writing.  I supplied a long filename,
"Field-Definition.txt".  This program worked fine when
it ran under the Rhide program.  But when the compiled
EXE program ran by itself, the filename was cut short
to eight characters.  Is this a bug?  Why does this
happen?  

Thanks,
Bill O'Connell
