The only requirement is I have to set an environment variable LFN=3Dy. It doesn't work if the environment variable isn't set. Thank you for your help. This utility is kicking serious butt now. It's shocking stuff. The whole RHIDE, DJGPP, and GCC package is a really good programming environment. My complements to the authors of these fine programs. I'll be interested in seeing what kind Linux and windows GUI applications can be made using these fine tools. I guess I need to download a more up-to-date version first, hehe. Right now I'm pretty into game design. There's no rush on that. Thanks, dos-man
