Hi!

I am developing an SEAL program, and it uses for the file list this
funktion:

l_bool  io_isfile ( l_text file )
{
   if ( access(file, D_OK) && !access(file, F_OK) ) return true;
   return false;
};

But if I want to use this file f.e. f:\MP3\OSTB~1.MP3  (also with long file
names !!!)
io_isfile returns the wrong message (false).

The file has only the ARCHIVE attribut.

Does somebody know why?


Thank you, Florian
