Is there any > walkaround to this problem ? No. DJGPP makes calls to Win9x to get long filename information, if Win9x isn't running, there's no easy way to get the information. Of course, it is possible to write your own disk reading routines that would get the long-filename information even in DOS (Norton Utilities does it), but that's no trivial task. -- -Rolf Campbell (39)3-6318
