I can only report what I have noticed on the OSs
that I have access to.  Actually  I  do not know any
person that runs W2K so I can not test on that.
My intention was to make clear that there is a
file name issue that I will not fix.  Perl and all
the other ports I have released during the last
few years are not capable to handle SFN that
use numeric tails.  No one should be surprised
if he use some Windows system with LFN support
and he set LFN=n in his environment that the
DJGPP stops working.  The only exception to
this rule are those Windows systems where the
user has control over numeric tail generation.
Neitherless all this do not explain the failure you
are reporting.
This implies that I am assuming that run DJGPP
with LFN=y in your environment.

I can read the formated man pages on all my OSs.
What does ntvdm.exe make crash : man.exe or
less.exe ?
