Why is there a "lib" in front of all DJGPP libraries.
I recently installed MGL (Mega Graphics Library) from Scitechsoft and they
don't produce DJGPP libraries with the LIB in front ?

Does this means I have to have two copies?

Can I tell DJGPP to search for libraries that do NOT have the "lib" in
front?
