Re: vDOS success... but no LFN

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Wengier,


Yes, I can load Tame 4.41, but it doesn't seem to allow for what I want:
control over the display of colors, italics, bold, font-size (only 2 or 3
options on this, but better than nothing.


I've emailed David Thomas, who wrote and supports Tane, on this. I
suspect that the later versions of Tame that I need will not work with
vDOS-lfn, because those later versions of Tame require an NT-flavored
program.


FYI, here's a screen shot of what I can get with non-vDOS XyWrite and
Tame 6.0c:

Hi Harry,


If you do a DIR of C: from the vDos-lfn command line (not from within
XyWrite) and cannot see long file names, please make sure the line
"Win95LFN=Yes"  is present in the file 4DOS.INI located in
the same directory as vDos-lfn.exe. In this case both LFNs and SFNs will
be listed with the DOS DIR command. If you still cannot see LFNs, could
you please upload a screenshot of the DIR command so I can check it too?
Thanks.

The only odd thing is that it's not using long file names! That is, when
I

do a DIR of C:, I see progra~1 instead of Program Files.


Am I doing something wrong?
