They may be going through more trouble than they have to. If I get what is being done here correctly, there probably ought to be a space between /Z: and C:\DOS71\CP437UNI.TBL, and the : following Z may be out of place. LH DOSLFN /Z C:\DOS71\CP437UNI.TBL The /Z switch specifies a code page to support, and the following parm is where to find it. Code page 437 is the standard IBM-PC code page, and is probably the default, so it may not be necessary to specify it at all. I load FreeDOS's LFN support here as "installhigh=c:\dev\doslfn.com " and things work. (I put such things in a \dev directory, because I like a Unix-like directory structure. > Thanks again, > Karen ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
