regarding the descript.ion thing not working, are you sure it was compiled in or was that why you were building? (not sure why you were trying to build in large model though, see Tom's remarks, basically not going to work, even if you manage to get an executable)

...
I think Jeremy's descript.ion support has to be inserted into the build process,

Yes you must enable it in the build, which I'm pretty sure is not the case by default given the limited (ie two people I think) expressed interest in it.


and you afterwards need to specify DIR /LFN (or SET DIRCMD=/LFN)

if it is compiled in then the description will be shown if it exists, each time dir is done a check is done if a DESCRIPT.ION file exists, and if so it is read and searched (I never did get to the major speed improvement suggested, but still have it in the back of mind for one of these years). the /lfn switch will effect if the LFN API is queried for long names, so if you have a descript.ion file and long file names, using /lfn with a descript.ion enabled build will show you the short name and all that stuff, the long name, and the description.


Guess I should read up about what the difference is between these large/normal/small models.
