There are two different things that I understand under the LFN. First is the ability to use the LFN API to manipulate files by the internal commands. EG: copy mylongfilenamewithoutspaces.txt a: Second is the ability of the internal commands to handle the "" properly. Like: copy "my file.txt" a: Do you mean that both have been impleneted? Is there something like a "standard" C library for "-parsing in commandline that we all can enjoy? Thanks, Aitor PS: Probably many more people would like to hear about this, in case you're thinking of writing in private. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
