But that MAY not be the correct 8.3 name. C:\Progra~1 may not be C:\Program Files C:\Progra~2 may be C:\Program Files
BUT C:\Program Files IS C:\Program Files. There are a lot of rules around the ~nnn which make using them a real pain. Ideally, if the script is running on windows then it should use the PROPER name. Just like PHP does when I say "C:/Program Files/Some Application/Some File.txt". -----Original Message----- From: Jakub Vrana [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 January 2006 13:37 To: Sveta Smirnova Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PHP-DOC] configure.in patch Sveta Smirnova wrote: > In Windows default place for programs is > "C:\ProgramFiles\Program_name".
