Hello,

I sent a mail message about an attempt to save a file
using the "fopen" statement in Rhide \ C++ on Windows
98.  The LFN switch was set with the -y switch.

When the program runs under Rhide, there is no
problem, the file is created under the correct name,
even if the name is longer than eight characters.  But
when the compiled EXE program runs by itself, the same
attempt cuts off the end of the filename and only
includes the first eight characters.  Why does this
happen?  How do I fix this?

Thanks,
Bill O'Connell

Set LFN=y in the environment and then try again.
