That's why DJGPP silently ignores @files that don't correspond to files. If you have some file @123.txt but don't have file 123.txt, pass "@123.txt" to the program and it sees "@123.txt" in argv[]. The only time it's a problem is if you hae both @123.txt and 123.txt as real files, then you can't pass "@123.txt" to argv[] without quoting it (./@123.txt).
