Hi Dm,

Is there any different in the way sbbs handles LFN with addfiles under Windows
and Linux?

I have files on a FAT32 filesystem mounted on my linux box and ls handles the
LFN/SFN conversion nicely.

bbs@bbs:/sbbs/data/dirs/bbs/bbc/games/arcade$ ls -l MoonLand*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 bbs bbs 2736 May 10 00:28 MoonLander.zip
bbs@bbs:/sbbs/data/dirs/bbs/bbc/games/arcade$ ls -l MoonLa~1.zip
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bbs bbs 2753 May 10 00:28 MoonLa~1.zip
bbs@bbs:/sbbs/data/dirs/bbs/bbc/games/arcade$ ls -l MoonLa~2.zip
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bbs bbs 2736 May 10 00:28 MoonLa~2.zip
bbs@bbs:/sbbs/data/dirs/bbs/bbc/games/arcade$

However when I try to import using addfiles, I get something rather different:

bbs@bbs:/sbbs/data/dirs/bbs/bbc/games/arcade$ addfiles bbcgarc *.zip

I would expect it to be creating short names.

Maybe you have a conversion for Linux users so they can addfiles and have them
converted automatically.

If that's the case, any way to turn that off so I can see how it would work by
letting the OS do the filename conversion? If that makes sense?

Thanks,
Nigel
