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 Wojciech Galazka, MCSE
