When you have a program that takes command line args, and since DJGPP automatically expands wildcards, if your running in Win95, and have some files with long filenames that match the wildcards, DJGPP always gives you the long file name, not the short one, even when LFN's are disabled, so if you call something like fopen with the command line argument, the file can't be found. i.e. A directory containing these files: abc.pcx cde.pcx long file.pcx fgh.pcx And with a commandline of: program *.pcx would give all of the filenames as long if their long names, not the short ones like longfi~1.pcx, etc. Is this a bug? If it is or isn't, does anyone know of a workaround since this is really annoying for my program.
