What version of Novell? I know on 3.x we had to load OS2.NAM to create the name space supporting long filenames for each volume where we wanted to use them.
Does anyone have anything to offer on this problem?
We are currently using three versions of R:Base as development environments (mostly fixing old stuff with two). These are 6.5++ for DOS, 6.5++ for Windows, and 7.0 for Windows. In each environment when trying to access files (i.e. Delete) long file names are not recognized if and only if the filesystem is on a Netware volume. If the data is local or on a Windows share, these files are completely usable. I can share some examples if it would do any good.
All three versions have been tested on three systems, 2 running Win2k and one NT 4.0. In all cases, a command line 'DOS' window displayed the files as expected. The dir command in R:Base for Windows displayed 9 characters of the long filename with no extension. In R:Base for DOS, these files were ommitted.
We have had our Netware patches updated and have tested the drives with no errors. One possibility is that a character setting is incorrect. Is there a setting that might affect the system this way?
Thanks for wading through this. All help, as always, is greatly appreciated. Maybe we'll write a song about the answer-ers.
