Thanks for the info.

I thought Windows 98 was supposed to report 7.20, at least in some of
its releases, no?  We have a couple of functions, like _rename and
mkdir, which depend on that: they call special functions of Int 21h
that support path names up to 128 characters.

Also, if you have access to Windows ME, could you see what goes wrong
with _rename on that OS?  We had in the past a few reports about
linking which fails with EINVAL due to that.
