If you are running the DOS32 platform, wrappers of CreateFile won't work as ex.exe can't link to dll's. There could be two reasons longname doesn't work under NT. 1. The DOS interrupt used for version checking gives a different value than for Win9x, causing NT's DOS to be mistaken for a pre-7 version (long file names not allowed). 2. The system("echo. . . . statement does't work correctly under NT. I'm attaching a modification of longname.e which comments out the version checking in the hopes that it will solve the problem. --Mike Nelson, co-author of longname.e ------=_NextPart_000_0043_01C03815.DFD01A80 name="longname.e" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
