Ok, thanks, useful info, but what to LFN themselves, I do not like
them and almost never use them for my own files.
Why?
See please a screenshot of my Linux Mandrake 10.0 machine, it is 120K image:
http://www.private.peterlink.ru/kinz/long.png
It is a 'lib' directory. Just try to read the file names here
to see who is who.
Do you see the ppp.e Euphoria file?
And others, with long names?
I'm afraid, sorry Juergen, I'd vote for 8.3 system of pure DOS, at least here!

All these things are just Rob's job, duty and business, I think.
Rob wants good Euphoria, I'm sure. And it is good now.
