- Well...I am afraid I must do something rather sorted here and change my
- position on the DOS drives problem. Here is how I currently stand.
-
- Places Where DOS Drives work fine, but WITHOUT LONG FILE NAMES
- ----------------------------------
- DOS 6.22
- Win95 (F8 at Boot) Command Prompt Only (DOS 7)
- Win95 (F8 at Boot) Safe Mode Command Prompt (DOS 7)
- Win95 Shut Down Computer - Restart computer in DOS mode
-
- Places where DOS drives take an extreamly long time to open, BUT HAVE LFN's
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Win95 DOS BOX (obviously in full screen mode)
-
-
- I find these results of my testing to be perplexing. First, I tested my
- pervious reported results twice (in the mode of Restart computer in DOS
- mose, and in Comand prompt only mode) and both times I received long file
- names and an extreamly long wait.
-
- Now, In re-testing, I find that I only have Long file names when running the
- windows 95 GUI and executor in a dos box and that I no longer have the
- extended wait in any other mode.
-
- I did not find any correlation between modem/PPP use and the extended wait.
- There may be a small (1 minute or less) time difference that I have not
- accounted for since I did not time the events. I have an 850MB IDE Hard
- Drive if size matters :)
-
- I was sure of my previous results. What might I have changed this time
- and/or are long file names supposed to work outside of the win95 GUI? If
- they don't, why not? It is still the same OS, right?
-
- Mat, I would stil like to try the executor with disabled long file names
- support.
