Yes, I've just discovered one. creating a file "verylongvilename" - appeared as VERYL~04. The command DEL VERYL~04 will fail, but DEL VERYL* will work. If deleting from a program, remember that this uses the DOS 1 (FCB) version of delete, not the DOS 2+ version using handles. I suggest that if you want to use DOS, don't use filenames that long. I won't suggest you don't use DOS, because you might not buy any more Interdrive from us :-)
