I am writing a DOS based file recovery program. I use int13 to read absolute sectors and can get the standard 8.3 DOS file names and the abbreviated Windows/95 file names. There are file name "tags" associated with the abbreviated long file names but I can't seem to decode these tags to access the long file names. Anybody got any suggestions?

There are a few LFN routines available for PB/DOS - take a look at http://www.powerbasic.com/files/pub/pbdos/misc/ and get the PBLFN32.ZIP archive. Also, take a look at the ABC site at www.basicguru.com/abc

That PBLFN32.ZIP library you pointed out appears to only work in Windows DOS boxes - not much good if you want your program to work without Windows.
Mel, try these pages; http://www.engr.ucdavis.edu/~mkkim/c...s/lfn/lfn.html and http://magic.hurrah.com/~sabre/os/S3...s/VFATInfo.txt .If you try to make something idiot-proof, someone will invent a better idiot.Comment
