http://newdos.yginfo.net/msdos71/ I think this is most interesting. Of course, it is totally illegal to d/l this if you don't own win98, but since I do I'll try it out. I remember we specifically had this discussion about DOS7.0 though, and we determined that it does not truly offer LFN support. Once windows has run, DOS7.0 used long filenames, even if you had completely exited windows. But if you did not run windows you could not access LFNs under DOS7.0 I don't suppose I checked DOS7.1, because there's no reason for it to be any different. Or perhaps this guy tracked down the driver that windows uses, and got it to load in DOS without windows running first. Any rate, a cool prospect. It might mean LFN support for win31 users who are also win98 owners. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
