Hi all, Tom pointed out some important limitation of all interfaces: No matter what you do, DOS interfaces still do NOT support handling of files above 4 GB in size. Even if you use the network redirector interface. A normal DOS app can only access the first 4 GB of a file, or at least it can not seek beyond that, nor can it know about file sizes being beyond that. A thread about this in another context:
http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/board_entry.php?id=2732&page=0&order=time&category=0 If you extend DOS and / or drivers to support large files, still only software specifically made to use your extended file access interfaces will be able to use large files! Thanks for the hint, Tom :-) Regards, Eric PS: Also, the network redirector API does not support LFN, but I remember that CDEX plus LFN drivers together did provide some support for LFN on DVD and CD filesystems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
