So if you write your own program using your own library(.dll), it could have 20 characters if you wanted, it just can't be part of the system?The 8.3 name restriction on DLLs is not overcome in your own programs... when porting from Linux for instance we have to sometimes use shorter names. The restriction is in the loader. There is a driver that was part of Odin that will allow longer DLL names but the driver can potentially cause issues on the system.Also, unrelated, but thanks Paul, your ports have been very helpful and made using OS/2/eCS a lot better than default.
