I've done 1 single program that does a little TPDD, so I'm hardly an authority. For what it's worth, I suspect a real TPDD drive would be fine with 8.3 filenames. As you said, it gives 24 spaces for the filename and I don't think it cares much what the filename is. The emulators, OTOH, have to map the given filenames into whatever the local OS expects, and are going to be fussier. :-( Willard -- Willard Goosey [email protected] Socorro, New Mexico, USA I search my heart and find Cimmeria, land of Darkness and the Night. -- R.E.
