No. There is no LFN support in FreeCOM. And there will be none, unless available for all commands.

Arrgh - 0 means "ignore", what is not useful in most cases. A good description is in RBIL: http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/ralf/pub/WWW/files.html Quote: Values for critical error handler action code: 00hignore error and continue processing request 01hretry operation 02hterminate program as though INT 21/AH=4Ch called (INT 20h for DOS 1.x) 03hfail system call in progress (DOS 3+) If "fail" is not allowed, the kernel defaults to "abort" (02).

You simply keep INT-24 hooked the whole lifetime of your program. It gets automatically restored, when your program terminates. BTW: If you start your shell with "/F", there is no interactive prompt, the request is automatically failed. Bye, -- Steffen Kaiser --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

The MS Client is usually considered "Freeware" and freely downloadable from MS FTP sites. I know of only one other implementation: IBM LANMAN. When I tried it, it looks more flexible, but with larger requirement of memory and disk space -- however, I have no knowledge to tweak every bit herein. Both client share a fair amount of tools, concepts and drivers - what a wonder :-) Anyway, maybe this page helps you: http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/samba/index.html Bye, -- Steffen Kaiser --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

Re: [Freedos-user] Timezone troubles with ZIP
On Mon, 7 Jun 2004, Eric Auer wrote: Hello Eric, Hi, I found that the set TZ=Europe/Berlin or whatever else should be used as TZ string follows no sane / recognizable system for the DOS version of ZIP: Aehm, unzip parses the original POSIX TZ contents, which is like so: CET1EET the "1" is the offset from GMT (aka UTC). If the second timezone ID (3 letters) is present, DST is active; if there are some more strings (delimited by commas or semicolons -- I don't remember), they specify when to activate DST (hence, they automatically honor the 2nd timezone or don't). Note: The DST-timezone is not the 4-letter code, e.g. CEST, but the 3-letter code of the "next" (or correspondning non-DST) timezone, in this case EET==GMT+2. The description can be found in the POSIX docs, e.g.: http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?tzset+3 Ignore anything about "directories", e.g. "TZ=Europe/Berlin" means directories. In this case your unzip had to be compiled by a compiler that ships the /etc/timezone-hierarchie. However, the problem then is that the time() function has to return _GMT_. This involves that the RTL(!!) of the compiler mangles the local time, as I don't see that unzip implements anything in this regards. It, therefore, depends on the compiler, if TZ is honored correctly. the timestamps. Maybe I have to tell Linux that DOS timestamps represent local time? Which mount option can be used to do this?
