Those extra "spaces" may not really be spaces at all -- they may actually be ASCII 0 or ASCII 255, which look like a regular space (ASCII 32) on the screen even though they aren't. I've ran into similar issues at various times that have caused me all kinds of grief. There are also some DOS Code Pages where other characters (besides 0, 32, and 255) also are blank (they look like a normal space when they aren't).
I've even tried to take advantage of this fact in the past when trying to make directories and files formatted for easier reading or keeping users from easily entering a directory I didn't want them to be in for some reason. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
