I wander if he would like to take a look at BOA's source code..
It was a rather good http server software for DOS.
hm.. i've been thinking. Maybe such a server software should
support LFN by using the method that 4DOS uses? (using a
file called descript.ion , not by messing with the FAT.)

Explanation for people who dont understand what i'm talking about:
A certain shell software for DOS (which I think is 4DOS) is capable
of "Long file name" support, but not by using the Windows 95 method.
In the directory where files with LFN are present, there is also
a file called descript.ion . The original files still use short-name
(8.3 type), and the full "long name" is kept in the descript.ion
file. This way you can maintain files with LFN without messing
with the FAT.
Sort of like what Linux do when on a UMSDOS.
In that file you can also insert short descriptions on the content/
purpose of each file.
