Comment(by hamish): Replying to [comment:6 glynn]: > The only workaround I know is to use 8.3 names (e.g. "/c/progra~1" > rather than "/c/Program Files"), but I don't know how to perform > that conversion from within a script (from C, you can use > GetShortPathName()). maybe we could expose that function as a new -s flag of g.dirseps? As Helmut noted, and IIRC the Windows installer scripts use somewhere, there is a Windows XP batch file solution to shortening them as well. The answer will be in our own archives from 6 months ago or so as I remember testing it. Hamish -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1178#comment:11> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org>
