Example, I have a C program that reads a text input, pares through it line-by-line. It then creates an output text file, that is named by certain data that is parsed from the input file. The program then writes out to this file nad closes it when finished. The only problem is that its only creating an output named up to 8 characters, the DOS 8.3 filename limitation. Any idead how to be able to create long file names? Thanks, -Martin
