Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Windows "File name too long" problem

[Jason Youngquist <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

In windoze, if you goto start-->run and type the following in...

"cmd.exe" you can "cd" to full pathnames ie. "program files"

whereas

"command.exe" is only 8 character pathnames...ie. "progra~1"


so it probably depends which Windoze "DOS" you use.
