Well, we also have "--executable-path". ;-) Besides, particularly this option (as you state yourself below) is rarely useful to enter by hand (since then "-o foo" does just as well), rather to be put in Makefiles, IDE settings, scripts/bat files, shell aliases, etc., so you (or at least I ;-) don't have to type it very often, even when compiling directly from the command line: alias gpc="gpc --executable-file-name" > 2). DJGPP has a habit of making both "blah" and "blah.exe" when you > type "gpc blah.pas -o blah". This also affects your GP program.

AFAIR, "blah" is the COFF executable which can be called from other DJGPP programs, and "blah.exe" is prefixed with a DOS loader (which is done by the "stubify" program), so it can be called from plain DOS programs as well. So depending on your needs, either or both may be useful. But it's been long since I've used DJGPP, so in case this was inaccurate or incomplete, Maurice will correct me, I hope. Frank
