Can't compile DOS program with long file name

Hello Rob, I have the following test program:
puts(1, "Hello!\n\nPress Enter ...") if getc(0) then end if
and the name of the program file is "small_test_program.ex". The program works when interpreted with ex.exe 2.5, but the problem is that I can't make a DOS .exe program out of it. Translating with ec.exe 2.5 seems to work fine, but when I run "emake.bat" I get compiler errors, and no .exe file is produced. This happens when I try to compile with DJGPP 2.03, and also with Open Watcom 1.3. I'm using Windows 98. When I rename the program file to a short name such as "test.ex" translating/compiling works fine, so I think the long file name causes the problem. The problem also arises when a program includes a file with a long name. Is it possible for the Euphoria 3.0 DOS translator to solve this problem? I would appreciate that very much! Regards, Juergen
