Hi Laaca, please consider registering yourself to the user list as well if you want to further discuss this or other issues there.
The first issue probably arises from an incorrect check for LFN functions, or one DOSLFN doesn't support. (Does it work correctly in a Windows 4 DOS box?) The second issue (collisions handled improperly) is only RAR32's fault.

I read the discussion about problems with DOSLFN in particular situations in FreeDOS. The described example is quite hard to reproduce but I know another one and much easier to track. DOSLFN doesn't work properly with RAR32 for DOS and OS/2. If archive contains long file names they are truncated into 8+3 names and the name collisions aren't properly treated. If you want to decopress such archives you have to use the windows console version which fortunately runs perfectly under HX. (Note that this trick fixes also another problem of DOS version of RAR - the unability to run on computers with 512 and more MB RAM) I am not registered to FreeDOS users list (I am only at developers list) so, please, forward this message into it. --- This e-mail has been sent via the forum (http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
