You > end up with a rather messy directory that lacks '.' & '..' ! Is there any chance that long (W95) filenames will be supported in a future version of msdosfs? Since I can't get my Teles ISDN-card to work with FreeBSD and PPP (yet), I use W95 to ftp large archives. It's a bit of a drag to have to zip them in W95 and unzip them in FreeBSD. - Peter -- Peter Korsten | peter@hw.nl | http://www.hw.nl/~peter/ Haesenbos, Wetzels & Van der Heijden Multimedia Support 'Never EVER mess with a jumper you don't know about, even if it's labeled "sex and free beer".' -Dave Haynie, Amiga developer
