Andy,
I failed to specify that I am running this program in Dos32. If I run it
under .exw, I am then running a windows program that takes away the
features of a Dos program. And I can't run the routines in doswrap.e and
dos.e. The issue is not just current_dir(). I just used it for the
example. I am running into several problems in not being able to work
fully with lfn support in Dos32 on Win95 based computers. I have found
some work arounds for long file names, but I am stuck on long file name
format for directories.

I am assuming from the responses I have gotten that is not a way in
Dos32. I know that Robert has plans to include full long file name
support in Dos32. I hope it is soon.

Thank for your response.
