Especially since it was fixed in DOS in '95 (Win 95) (*). There are also TSRs and drivers that will provide the long file names for just about any DOS, using the standard file format and the standard extended APIs. As far as I know DJGPP will use that API if the underlying DOS supports it. So why perform a voluntary lobotomy with regards to the file names? -Peter *) It's been 6+ years since I played with this in my DOS programs so my memory is hazy about whether or not MS-DOS 7.0 /without/ the graphical DOS extender (Win95) also provided those APIs. I read something yesterday that indicated that it didn't. But most people would use "DOS" from their Windows shells and the rest could use the aforementioned TSRs and drivers. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
