Summary: LFN DOS API is not turned on in all cases Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: wine-dos AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: joshudson@hotmail.com
The DOS API for long file names is not available on all possible Dos/Windows configurations that would have it. In particular:
DOS LFN is available on Win2000 and WinXP (wine in nt4 mode) -- Note that this is not true of NT4 itself (what to do?) DOS LFN is available on Win3.1 when dosver >= 7.0 & IFSHELP.SYS loaded
Simple overzealous fix: make DOS LFN available in *all* cases (probably no program will break if it sees LFN when there shouldn't be)
