How can I get my program to show filenames which have more than 13 chars. I tried it with DosFindFirst and DosFindNext. DosFindFirst returned error 206(=too long filename), when I instructed it to find file called "sailing.ships", and when I use *.* my dear program found only files with filenames whose length were under 13 chars. I have OS/2 1.2 SE, Toolkit(IBM) 1.1 and MSC 6.0. Hope you understand what I am tryin to say here. Thanks in advance. -ecs (so-ecs@stekt.oulu.fi)

You must mark the program as "long filename aware". This can be done either when you link the program by including NEWFILES on the NAME statement in the modeule.def file used as input to link, or you can do it after by using the exehdr program (option /NEWFILES) that comes with MSC. Theres also a markexe program in the toolkit, I think.

Make sure you use a linker .DEF file with the NEWFILES option on the NAME
statement. Or, use EXEHDR to mark the executable. In both cases you are
telling the system that your program is built to handle the new filenames.

Ignore it until there is aN HPFS driver for dos so you can repair files if OS/2 crashes and won't reboot. Have you tried reinstalling all of OS/2 because the file system gets damaged and OS/2 won't boot? -- David Feustel, 1930 Curdes Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46805, (219) 482-9631 EMAIL: netcom.com

I have Use DosFindFirst2 instead of DosFindFirst. Also link the application with a Module Definition File (.DEF) which contain the NAME line. The format of the NAME line is as follows: NAME [appname] [apptype] [NEWFILES] The NEWFILES option indicates the application supports long file name and extended attributes. Refer to MS help on the linker for more detail. -- Tedd.Meinersmann@AtlantaGA.NCR.COM (404)-623-7349 2651 Satellite Blvd. Duluth, GA 30136
