``Tons of bugs'' seems quite a strong language, especially when you 
never mention anything but a problem with filenames, don't you think?

As for the filenames' problems, there shouldn't be any, because DOS 
automatically truncates the filenames to 8+3 format, so when your program 
does #include <_g_config.h>, the compiler automatically will find 
_g_confi.h instead.  The latest lgp archive I have includes _g_confi.h, 
which seems right to me.  What version of lgp did you find faulty?

If you run under Win95 (you didn't say), then currently you'll have to put
LFN=n into the environment to disable long filenames support in DJGPP. 
That might take care of filenames' problems you might have under Win95.

CWSDPMI is a DPMI server.  There are many other DPMI servers out there, 
like Windows.  People who run under Windows don't need CWSDPMI, so 
including it in every program image would just needlessly bloat the EXE 
size.
