Subject: 8.3 name convention problem
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I installed the newest djgpp version on a Win95 machine just before. I
can sucessfully compile C programs. But while compiling and linking C++
programs I runned into problems wich are caused by the 8.3 name
convention of MS-DOS. I changed a few include commands in system header
files (to filenames like xxxx~1.h).  This works in part but the
remaining problem now are libraries the linker can't find because they
have names with more than 8 characters before the point.
Is there anyone who knows a solution to this problem.

Many thanks in advance
