Section 8.7 of the DJGPP FAQ will help you. This is one of the most asked questions on here. > so i thought that must be it....so i rename it to only one 'x'...listdcx.a DO NOT DO THIS!

The only reason you are facing the troubles you are is because you haven't read the DJGPP documentation. Please search through the FAQ (which, BTW, answers over 200 questions, I don't think that could be called vague), and if you don't understand that, then come back and ask a question. We are a friendly bunch, but some questions just seem to reoccur so many times (as you'll soon find out if you stick around).
