How 4DOS can have problems? // > Doesn't it use standard DOS or Windows syscalls? // // It uses DOs calls to get the directory, then goes back and uses Win95 // calls to get the long name from the short name. // // The problem is that the same algorithm *must* be used for this to work // reliably. I suppose that by algorithm you mean how the filenames are archived, and not how the names are converted between formats. If it the second option, let me remember you that Win95 registry can be programmed to change the algorithm. I hate those ~'s in file names. :) // I did effectively this when I converted FFS/UFS for Windows 95 IFS, and // added a Unicode name space and 8.3 names for FFS/UFS directory entries; // the problems I faced are exactly the inverse of the problems you face. You mean you have a FFS driver for Win95 ? Is it available ? :) Jonny -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis jonny@gta.ufrj.br +55 21 290-4698 jonny@coppe.ufrj.br Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro UFRJ/COPPE/CISI PGP fingerprint: 29 C0 50 B9 B6 3E 58 F2 83 5F E3 26 BF 0F EA 67 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe current" in the body of the message
