&gt; &gt; Well, Ive been playign with the windows port.
&gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; First problem is that gcc under Win95 expects 8.3 filenames because its
&gt; &gt; basicly a DOS interface port of gcc (runs in a DSO box).
&gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; This means, with our current file names, we will NEVER compile
&gt; &gt; under gcc.
&gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; Suggestions?  I coudl change the names but upgrading is gonna be a
&gt; &gt; pain. It woudl be better is we went to 8.3 for all cold source....
&gt; 
&gt; Uhrm, my original compile compiled everything with gcc in bash up to 
&gt; net.c, where, it bombed on some network stuff I've since finished.  I 
&gt; never did go back for a second attempt.  We never had any problems with 
&gt; filename lengths.. (perhaps bash was doing something?)

Perhaps he's not using win32bash...  I'll give it a try on an NT 4.0 box 
this week and report back here...
