Thanks for your response.
I tried adding the LFN macro however I still only have a short file name
created in the hard disk.
File:
#define __WATCOM_LFN__
#include
void main(void)
{
FILE *fptr = fopen("e:\\aerosystems.txt", "w");
fprintf(fptr, "Genesys\n");
fclose(fptr);
} //
Hello Anand,
I wrote a small program in C to create a file with a long file name as
follows.
void main(void)
{
FILE *fptr = fopen("e:\\aerosystems.txt", "w");
fprintf(fptr, "Genesys\n");
fclose(fptr);
} // END main()
And then I compiled using the Watcom compiler:

Hi,
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?
very unlikely. Linux drivers are too different from DOS kernel or DOS
TSR to be useful
What about bringing the FUSE interface to DOS? Would
Hi Michael,
indeed, MS LFN started with version 7 (Win9x)...
What about FreeDOS kernel and LFN? Wouldn't it make sense
also to add LFN to the FreeDOS kernel?
Yes but: The DOSLFN license does not allow it so you would
have to re-implement LFN from scratch and there is also a
risk to get

Even kernel support would have some of those issues, it seems only
not very fast
It is strongly recommended that you use MS-DOS version 7.0 (the version
of MS-DOS that ships with Windows 95/98), since it is the only version
that will allow you to use long filenames with your NTFS drives. Using
earlier versions of MS-DOS restrict you to using file names in 8.3
format.

FAT and FAT32 are already supported by DOSLFN, even some CD-ROM
filesystems are. NTFS is not supported by any free

Which kind of compatibility does FreeDOS aim for? I mean compatible with
which MS-DOS version? 6.22, 7.10, 8.00?
As far as I can tell, 8.00 is the same as 7.10 plus some restrictions (I
used to have a PC with Windows Me).
Yes, well 8.00 can load Win ME.

extract doslfn.com (or exe) and the .cp? I can't remember the

How about cp*.tbl?
Those need to go in the bin directory.
I assume you mean C:\FDOS\BIN

In my understanding, there's no LFN support at all, except in the DIR
command of FreeCOM, where an existing LFN is searched and displayed.
No. There is no LFN support in FreeCOM. And there will be none, unless
available for all commands.

Hi,
I do worry LFN is the user's heaven, the programmer's
hell.

Hi John,

I've seen some mention of LFN support in FreeDOS.

wonder exactly how much support we are talking
about...
