Re: [MiNT] some gem question



This is something I never understand! because d_fname is at the end of structure
and can easily extend for long filename. Magic and Mint never extend this and I
not understand why, of course DTA structure should change, but it is not
incompatible. Software not doing Pdomain(1) should receive 8+3 file name and
other could receive long filename. So why? Just for my information.

Because there is already software which assumes that even after Pdomain(1) the Fsfirst() call returns 8+3.
