The new box is running Windows XP (HOME EDITION). I remember seeing several messages around Christmas time about issues and solutions regarding XP but did not pay too much attention as I was not planning to upgrade at that time. Anyway, I have downloaded the latest set of zips from DJ's zip picker, made a new djgpp folder and unzipped all the files into it just like the readme.1st says I should. I then set up the environment variables and paths and tried to test it - Alas, problems... 1) Rhide will not compile any thing, it claims that the command is too long 2) Bash seems to switch from long filenames to short filenames after a command such as ls I can give more details of these problems if required, although, I can't help thinking that they have been addressed. Are there any special XP patches that are no in the standard distribution files. There is nothing in the FAQ that I could find and I couldn't get the mail archive engine to search for messages including XP (it found no matches!) Any hints, tips or pointers will be gratefully received.
