Hi,
I'm working on long filename support under Windows NT 4.0.
I started with the sources of nt-lfn written originally by to Andrew
Crabtree
but rewrote them substantially since then.
I wonder if there is enough interest in long filename support under NT at
all?
I so are there any folks willing to test if my codes work?
So far I only made some testings under English versions of NT 4.0 Server &
Workstation with SP5 logged on as an Administrator.
I don't have a ftp site anymore so will there be enough intereset to try out
this piece of code then
I'd appreciate if anyone could suggest a ftp site where I could upload the
sources & binaries. I once tried to set up my own home page on geocities but
never had time to finish that.
I was able to correct these bugs present in the original nt-lfn (list taken
from http://www.goof.com/pcg/djgpp/ntlfn.html)
1 Loading the TSR screws up regular LFN stuff and DOS Key (me)
2 pipes stop working after loading the TSR: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32> ls / |
less -c Write fault error writing device AUX Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail?
(Eli)
3 after installing the TSR, you cannot modify the environment: it always
says "Out of environment space". (eli)
4 df reports garbage. Note that even the names of the filesystems are not
reported correctly (it reports the first file it sees there)(eli)
5 Less exits after showing the first screen (eli)
6 readdir returns file names from floppies written under plain DOS in
UPPERCASE. (eli)
7 when my program ends: nt-lfn is still resident, and it causes an error
message: "Invalid command.com... Cannot load command, system halted".
(grigoriy)
8 you get two directories 1234567890 and 12345678. Yoe enter cd 1234567890
and get sent to 12345678
