Please, tell me if you know or if you have heard:
does Borland C++ 4.5 use the long filenames under Windows 95?
I have an Unix source with a lot of files with long names and I know
that's possible to preserve those names if I copy the sources under
Win95. But I wonder if this is of any good. Other way, does Borlan C++
4.5 compiler accept and recognize the long filenames as arguments for
INCLUDE statements, for example?
Please, help me. Thank you

				Cristian

I don't think 4.5 will recognize the long filename.  Wait for 5.0...it will 
release soon.....

There are 2 ways to write bug-free programs; only the 3rd way works

The README file tells you not to use long filenames when installing it
- I'm not sure about the code, though. The common dialog boxes are
Windows 3.x style and only support 8.3 filenames.

However, this is COMPLETELY off topic in this Demon IP support group
(which is for local Demon connectivity issues). Please post your
queries to comp.os.ms-windows.win95.* in future.

Or uk.comp.os.win95 which I believe is less busy
