Why are you using those options?  I've never needed any ...  I'd try it
without them.

Doesn't the ~- option disable finding files with numeric tails also?  I'm
sure that some of the DJGPP files have LFNs largest enough to have numeric
tails for their SFNs.  I.e., it could be a DJGPP file is not being found, or
an incorrect DJGPP file is being found.

Which version of 0.41? 0.41b?  Actually, I have _two_ DOSLFN's that say they
are version 0.41b...  So, what file size too?

Next, I'd try MS-DOS v7.10, if you have it.

I don't normally use DJGPP 2.04, but I have it installed.  If you're still
having problems, can you post the simple "hello world" like program?

To me, that implies that some DJGPP file is not being found.  I'd suspect
the ~- option first, the t+ option second, and MS-DOS version third.

That's strange.

It could be ...

I thought 2.04 was primarily for a Windows XP's DOS console,
and this DJGPP version has not been officially released.
