Long and short filename by DIR

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

Using the standard routine DIR, after  x = DIR(st)
 in DOS32 :  x[1] is a standard DOS 8.3 name
 in WIN32 :  x[1] is a long file name

I need both name in my programs. How can I get them in WIN32?

Suggestion: DIR should return a 10th entry  and
x[10] should always be the standard DOS 8.3 (in WIN32 and in DOS32).
Almost all the old programs should run without modification
since they don't use x[10].

What is your answer to my question
and your opinion to my suggestion?
