I have a download of DJGPP for Windows NT which includes "GNU Emacs
20.5 (i386-pc-msdosdjgpp) of Sun Mar 19 2000." (This is what emacs
prints when you pull down Help->Show Version.)

When I try to open a C header or source file from within emacs, using
C-x f or the Files->Open File pull down, it produces the message:

File mode specification error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "cc-mode")

The emacs executable is in E:\djgpp\gnu\emacs\bin\emacs.exe.

I can see the following in the Windows NT Explorer:

E:\djgpp\gnu\emacs\lisp\progmodes\cc-mode.el
E:\djgpp\gnu\emacs\lisp\progmodes\cc-mode.elc

I unzipped with long file name support, and everything else in DJGPP
seems to work fine. Any ideas?

Also, even though Windows NT Explorer will show a file with a long
file name:

E:\save_pmpapi.c

If I double-click on that file name, it opens emacs on it, but emacs
calls it "save_p~1.c". If I try to open this file from within emacs
using C-x f or File->Open File, it won't find the long filename
version on disk.

I used to use a version of emacs 19.34 for NT that someone had online
in binary form. I still have the binaries on diskettes, but I was
hoping to use the emacs that was installed with DJGPP and not have to
install a different version. The other version had none of these
problems.

Thanks for any help.
