Naive suggestion: If they all have embedded text to identify them as V8 font files, just avoid the redundant *.V8F extension and use .866 or .853 or whatever codepage as actual extension. If that is confusing, stuff them in a .\V86\ subdir. (I may be forgetting that some esoteric code pages have numbers greater than 999.) _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
