Re: Program Files DIR

I wonder if the problem here isn't "Long File Names", which have a
different directory format than the 8.3 MSDOS directories which
XyWrite grew up in -- and which may be defined in hard-coded structures
deep inside the program's guts, rather than invoked by DOS or
Windows function calls, to make disk access fast as possible.

I'll try and remember to experiment tonight.

No, Jordan, I saw your post, but you're running under OS/2. The whole
point of this is that it's another 32-bit Windows "feature" (read bug or
deliberate Big Brother Bill tactic) that's causing the problem, not a
deficiency in Xy. Windows does something to C:\Program Files and its
subfolders in addition to marking them Read-only, and whatever it does,
it hampers the ability of XyW to read and list the contents of that
folder unless that folder is the default directory.
