hello everyone.
i am using doslfn with dos 7.1

doslfn support lfnames in msdos but i have a trouble with nc55. nc55 still doesnt show the lfn as it is but puts ~1.txt(ex).

is there another commander fixes that or is there a dosshell program like command.com that fixes it? i tried 4dos but the same trouble
thx

is NC55 ???

norton commander 5.5

Obviously NC itself is not LFN aware.

LFN is not perfect whatever version you find...............

Maybe instead of WinDOS7.1 try DR-DOS7.01 with the DRDOS PROJECTS Updates:

NC Clones, as newer may handle LFN with more success:

The info panel of my NC5.5 says:

************************************
* The Norton Commander, Version 5.5*
* 1 July 1998 *
************************************

This NC5.5 IS LFN aware.

Try:

F9 + R + W => Wide right panel
F9 + L + W => Wide left panel

Also archive´s LFN shows in the Mini Status line.

In MS-DOS 6.0 I use DOSLFN + MKLINK (for CDROM) (see http://www.geocities.com/jadoxa/doslfn/index.html)

My NC5.5 bat is:

@echo off
c:
cd\
cd utils\doslfn
mklink /v-
lh doslfn /z:cp850uni.tbl
lh c:\utils\nc55\nc.exe
if exist c:\utils\doslfn\*.jlt del c:\utils\doslfn\*.jlt
lh c:\utils\doslfn\doslfn /u

A NC-Clone with LFN support is:

Volkov Commander
