    Angry long file names problem

    I am programming c with lcc-win32. I want to open files via fopen with long file names in a console application. But it's only possible to pass arguments in 8.3 Notation. lfndos DOESNOT run because not necessarry (displayed on screen when starting lfndos.exe). Can anybody tell me how to solve this problem?

    Get a decent OS?

    but seriously, what's wrong using command.com (the DOS console) to run your programs? programming in pure DOS won't be all too productive anymore.

    I'm forced to use the DOS-Console of win98. Is it impossible? is it possible when programming a windows executable?

    I thought it's clear that lcc-win32 is not a dos compiler and I hoped that lfndos can solve my problem. - whats not true. This is just a remark.

    You can create a console application. "main"
    or a win executable. "winmain"
