I remember having trouble with an RCS version on a NW 3.11 server. So could you try to *disable* LFN in your environment and see if that works? Does it work with short names already with LFN=Y ? I don't have W95 installed, so I cannot try that myself. The problem I had, IIRC, was that the remove() call returned an error when it tried to delete a write protected file, so this might be unrelated to long/short filenames. This might be the reason for the stupid errno. -- Ciao Tom ************************************************************* * Thomas Demmer * * Lehrstuhl fuer Stroemungsmechanik * * Ruhr-Uni-Bochum * * Universitaetsstr. 150 * * D-44780 Bochum * * Tel: +49 234 700 6434 * * Fax: +49 234 709 4162 * * http://www.lstm.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/~demmer * *************************************************************
