I > do a dir on c:\djgpp\include\otherincludefile.h and it *is* there. hmmm ... there should definitely not be such a file in the djgpp\include directory. did you put it there? if so, take it out. djgpp\include is for header files that come with djgpp, not your custom headers. i suspect this has nothing to do with / vs \, and more to do with the lack of long filename support on the NT (although I cannot verify that because I do not have access to NT). what did you use to unzip the distribution files? what does the program you are trying to compile look like?
