There are LFN libraries in the Downloads section. They don't work in
all cases, though-- check 'em on your expected target machines. (The
routines are sound enough, it's just the check for "is LFN available?"
that's shaky). Contact the authors...

Thank you.

If you try to make something idiot-proof, someone will invent a better idiot.

Find & read oddly named files?
Can Powerbasic for DOS make use of double periods in filenames?
I.e., Can I open for output, open for input, etc., names like
this:
ANDERSON.IND.DAT
ANDERSON.CEM.DAT
ANDERSON.MED.DAT
ANDERSON.COD.DAT <IMG SRC="http://www.powerbasic.com/support/forums/confused.gif" ALT="confused">
Problem: Keeping applications from seeing an extension that
application recognizes, and attempting to open it.
Goal: Having other applications leave the data for my cemetery
program alone so the data does not get corrupted.
Would just changing the attributes before opening it solve the
problem, I wonder? How have some of you solved this?
Thank you.
Robert
