Well, I was messing around a little with the new FreePascal Compiler for DOS.
Basically, what ships requires DOS LFN support. Many units, libraries and executables are longer than the 8.3 standard file names. It would be a lot of tedious work to migrate it to completely support 8.3 names. I don’t know if the effort is worth it or not. I know I don’t have the time to do it. So basically, unless someone else ports it’s file names that leaves three options. 1) stick with the current version. 2) leave it alone and require DOSLFN. 3) Strip it way way way down. I will let some else decide how they would like to handle this. :-) Jerome ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
