I would suppose that by walking SysVars, (well DOS actually has this information) by looking at offset 20h in the System File Table, you can get the filename in FCB format, for 8.3 filenames prior to DOS 7.x (LFN)...Int 21h/60h can get the canonicalized filename
I think that would be the best bet. -T ----- Original Message ----- From: "Blair Campbell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "FreeDOS Devel" <Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Sunday, November 05, 2006 11:42 PM Subject: [Freedos-devel] Int 21/AX=71A6h > How hard would it be for FreeDOS to support Int 21/AX=71A6h?
