I think he is referring to the truncation of the initial portion of the complete line, i.e. the portion that spells out the option name, which I also see under DJGPP/4dos via:
redir -eo gpc --help -v | less
(for some reason "gpc --help -v |& less" doesn't work here)
I don't know 4dos or whether it's supposed to support `|&'. Under Unix, `|&' is a feature of tcsh, while bash allows `gpc --help -v 2>&1 | less'. I don't know if tcsh is available under DJGPP, but bash is. (BTW, in this case, a simple `|' should also work, which is probably supported by all shells, including command.com, since the help is written to standard output, not standard error, unlike error messages etc.) Frank -- Frank Heckenbach, frank@g-n-u.de, http://fjf.gnu.de/, 7977168E GPC To-Do list, latest features, fixed bugs: http://www.gnu-pascal.de/todo.html GPC download signing key: 51FF C1F0 1A77 C6C2 4482 4DDC 117A 9773 7F88 1707
