I do beg your pardon, Sir Are You trying to say NT 4.0 and/or Win95 are able to read the RR formatted CD-Roms Usually written for Unix/Linux (true) and correctly interpret the long filenames without mangling them? If this is indeed the case i would be _*VERY*_ interested in knowing what I'm doing wrong, since i have never been able to see a long filename on any CD-rom, under any Microsoft operating system i have ever seen. > Best Regards Mauro - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
