    Lfns

    Does anyone have any idea how to access LFNs from pure DOS? I know it's possible but don't know how. I have found some stuff on Google already and I didn't understand any ideas? Thanks

    ... or you could post the code you're having trouble understanding...
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    You need to access the FAT file system and look in the directory entries to find the file information....LFNs aren stored in unicode and use some sort of checksum to validate themselves...

    Do a websearch on Google for the FAT file system and get reading
