I enjoy it, it's very powerful. However, I encoutered a lot of difficulites because I unpacked the files with Winzip 6.2; The problem is that winzip recognize long names (above 8 letters ) and unstuff the files with thoses names, but in dos sessions, the filenames are still in the old format. So, files with name like "makefile" are cheged to "makefi~1". It becomes very hazardous to compile, and to run emacs for example. I write it to you so you can warn it onto the following releases of djgpp. It has to be written in great letters!

Hello,

I just downloaded the latest version of djgpp (2.01) with emacs. I enjoy it, it's very powerful. However, I encoutered a lot of difficulites because I unpacked the files with Winzip 6.2; The problem is that winzip recognize long names (above 8 letters ) and unstuff the files with thoses names, but in dos sessions, the filenames are still in the old format. So, files with name like "makefile" are cheged to "makefi~1". It becomes very hazardous to compile, and to run emacs for example.

I write it to you so you can warn it onto the following releases of djgpp. It has to be written in great letters!

Thank you, Eric Devolder.
