how to access long filename length in DOS? (na_th_an)

[na_th_an]

Ok. Nice to know. But it is already commented in the code:

Code:

'* In QuickBASIC PDS and VisualBASIC, change all the lines in the format
'  "VARSEG(any.string.variable$)" to "SSEG(any.string.variable$)".

I can't do it in qb45, either. I get divide by zero error when trying to copy.

Search on Google for "LFN quickbasic" and you'll doubtless find a dozen libraries.... but...

Written in Assembly, with source. It's been a while since I looked at it, but I know it at least *worked*. All it has is short->long and long->short. Includes QLB, OBJ, ASM, and BAS test file.

i actually found the same thing in my old files:

But now I am confuzzled on how to combine lfn lib and ugl lib with multilib, since I suck.

If you have LFN.LIB and UGL.LIB, and you want to combine them into one library, named for example, LFNUGL.LIB:

LIB LFNUGL +LFN.LIB +UGL.LIB;

To make LFNUGL.QLB:

LINK /Q LFNUGL.LIB, LFNUGL,, BQLB45;

or before you make LFNUGL.LIB, via

LINK /Q LFN.LIB UGL.LIB, LFNUGL,, BQLB45;

[Agamemnus]

the qlb won't link due to too many segments.

Blitz said how to compile UGL here, maybe that is what some smarter dude could use to figure it out?

with the /Q option. I don't know. I've never tried it. (But I can't see offhand why it shouldn't be allowed.)

works

hey ag, the ugl builder allows you to add 14 of your own objs/libs. I just uploaded it. Get the latest build.

i might do this later, but you're too late, blitz. I already did what I needed.
