Can they work with extended NT and W98 file names without truncation? Can they work like long UNIX file names? Here is the DOS dir command on 2 java files: dir *.java Directory of C:\joe\java 02/04/99 04:05p 6,255 TestBase.java 02/04/99 04:05p 14,981 base.java 2 File(s) 21,236 bytes 165,150,720 bytes free Here is DJGPP's ls.exe (it does not find them) ls *.java c:/djgpp/bin/ls: *.java: No such file or directory (ENOENT) IT WILL WORK LIKE THIS if I shorten the .java extension ls *.jav testba~1.jav base~1.jav
