Yes, by putting it into the kernel the compatibility issues go not away instantly. LFN for FAT and for NTFS are working stable in Linux. Could a FreeDOS developer grab this free knowledge from Linux and improve DOSLFN this way? To stay maximum compatible the LFN code could be disabled in config.sys with LFN=0/1. -mr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
