It might be a good idea to wait until DJGPP V2 supports long file names as well. I gather that they're working on it. Having Windows support HFV volumes sounds like a good idea though. It would only be practical with the NT or 95 installable file systems, but it would make a Win95 port of Executor a lot easier. Of course DJGPP support for Win32 would make that easier too, something else that I gather that they are working on (I hope that's reliable). > --Cliff > ctm@ardi.com Brian Hawley bhawley@luc.edu
