Well ... the whole point of wine is compatibility, and in fact the existing code in wine to handle 8.3 names can be view as a hack for the sake of compatibility (long names good, 8.3 bad :-). All I'm suggesting is that the existing 8.3 code could be made more compatible. It's really unfortunate that Solaris (as far as I can tell) doesn't have a way reading the short filename from the DOS filesystem. -- John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Feith Systems | Voice: 1-215-646-8000 | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | John Wehle | Fax: 1-215-540-5495 | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------
