Would not denying long filename support in DOS 6.x have anything to do
with Rhide occasionally failing to load an Allegro .dat file when an
executable is run from within Rhide? I mean that long filename support
is not mentioned in the autoexec.bat. I have an intermittent problem of
this sort, yesterday Rhide wouldn't run a program that loads a font
file, today it does? This makes no sense, something external is going on
here, any ideas on what to check?
