Long filenames

[Nick DAlessandro]

I currently use PB 3.20. Can anyone tell me if PB 3.5
understands long filenames? If so, I'll upgrade.

Thanks

never had the need to use lfn's in pb/dos. did a quick test and
apparently, it doesn't: however, check out:
http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pb...ad.php?t=23451

this will extract the lfn from the sfn. i also have the code to
extract sfn from the lfn if you need it.

i personally would recommend upgrading to 3.5 anyway. it has a
lot of new and very useful features.

Mel,
Thanks very much for the quick reply, the link, and the
encouragement to upgrade to 3.5 (I needed the push).

You can find other LFN code for PB/DOS in the Download section.
