From: Jerry Banker Hu, IBM doesn't have market power? Maybe someone should tell them. On the Fortune 500 IBM is 15 and Microsoft is 44. (Dead topic for this group?) Despite claims and efforts, U2 is not IBM, where DB2 is. IBM's honorable influence doesn't drive all vendors for every bit

I've posted a summary of my recent experience with this so far. I'm running in a virtual machine and can test this process many times before committing the disk updates. So if anyone is curious about something or has a suggestion, I'll be happy to try it before I finalize my upgrade. HTH

For reference, Windows still stores path/file names internally in short 8.3 format. Support for long names and additional characters was added in Windows 95 as an abstraction (a view) over that for common usage where non-technical people want to use file names like: J. Jones Budget, 2007-2008

As I mentioned in CDP, this has nothing to do with D3 but it's always fun to blame D3 for whatever ails ya. David is using the %functions from BASIC which are wrappers around raw C functions. The limitations of these functions are that of the OS, not the DBMS wrappers. A quick Google for fopen
