Please post the exact command that you typed and the exact text of the error message(s). In general, if long file names work with one DJGPP program, they should work with all of them. Do any other DJGPP programs on that machine support long file names? > I have tried > setting environment variable LFN=Y and putting a similar setting in the > DJGPP.ENV file, but to no avail. Please don't edit DJGPP.ENV. In fact, I suggest that you restore the original DJGPP.ENV from djdev203.zip, since the editing you did might well have broken it.
