Title: RE: directory namesThis DOS discrepancy thing is VERY interesting. I'm working on an NT machine and it too has long-filename capability in it's emulated DOS. But shelling-out to DOS from XY...there's no LFNs...?
It must mean that XY has a version of DOS built-into it, because there's no different source anywhere on this computer. Anybody know for sure?
The only other possibility I can think of is that because XY can't handle LFNs, it may be that when you shell-out from there you're "seeing through" a XY filter and are still limited by XY...or something along those lines.
(one other point...it'll never be "real" DOS on an emulating OS...just an earlier version...unfortunately)

Real DOS (which you get when you shell out of XyW, apparently, and that's interesting in itself)
