Greetings,

I am trying to use DJGPP v2.03 with Windows XP and I see a problem,
which I could not find in the google archives.  It is not possible to
pipe the standard output to/from the native win32 console programs
under bash (version 2.04.7(1)-release).  For example,  
ls|less ;  hello.exe|wc ;   hello.exe|less
would not work, if ls, wc are DJGPP programs and less, hello.exe are
native win32 applications.  
Pipe between DJGPP programs, e.g. ls|wc works.  All of these
commands run fine with WinXP cmd.exe.

I have applied update packages from ftp://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/v203u,
I tried to use NT LFN TSR [http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/ntlfn08b.zip],
I also tried to set LFN=n, but nothing helped.

Any suggesions?  Thank you,

        Pavol
