1. filename for open() is too long error
Hello,
I have just discovered Euphoria.
While trying it in a DOS Window under Windows 95
when launching a program I always get the error
filename for open() is too long error
Has anyone had similar problem?
Thank you for your help,
Thierry

On DOS, Euphoria does not fully support long file names (LFN).
Here is a page where you'll find lots of code that has been contributed
by Euphoria users. You might find that code collection useful anyway:
<http://rapideuphoria.com/contrib.htm>
Among those contributions is one from me, that provides full LFN support
for Euphoria on DOS: <http://www.rapideuphoria.com/lfn.zip>

Thank you Juergen for your answer.
But I get the error (on my Windows 95 computer):
"filename for open() is too long error"
even when trying simple things like running the demo
small programs located in
C:\EUPHORIA\DEMO\DOS32
I get the error even when I try to launch the editor "ed"...
On my windows XP computer Euphoria works fine.
Any idea?
Because one big advantage of euphoria compared to Java
would be the possibility to use it on older computers.

Thierry

I've never heard of that problem.
I don't have an old machine handy to test on.
Try exwc instead of ex and see what happens.
Also, maybe your environment variables (PATH, EUDIR etc.)
are in a strange state.
Type:
SET | MORE
in a command window to see them all.

Just tried yesterday's EU 3.1.1 on a fresh install of Windows 95,
.. without any problems.
Running exw.exe from Explorer, and typing in ed.ex as a file-name,
.. even works OK without any autoexec.bat file present, as expected.
Using a free DOS clone substitute, by any chance ?
