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,
