Maybe someone here knows; the command line dir format in XP NTVDM is long file name, or NT style. The older non lfn or dos format(8+3) is another way; but they both list the number of files and the number of directories separately. Now when I compile a c program and either use 'system()' to do: "dir>t.txt", *or even use 'system()' to call a bat*, the format is different, with ALL the dir entries listed together as files! Does djgpp/gcc incorporate bits of some other dos(not freedos/not ms dos)? Also, if in NTVDM, where lfn is used, the first time I use 'system', the format changes to this weird format and stays that way until the program terminates. I would have thought you had to *make* the compiler turn on 8+3, but it does it automatically. Richard Klein wb2...@gmail.com.
