I just received my 1.2 PM toolkit upgrade and was slightly disappointed to find that it had the same version of link.exe (5.03) as the 1.1 PM toolkit. The documentation doesn't mention anything about setting the long-filename flag though the new markexe.exe will do it. Anyone know which version of link supports the new def keyword for long filenames? Dan Lanciani ddl@harvard.*

The way to say that an application can see long file names is to have a line in the .DEF that reads NAME WINDOWCOMPAT NEWFILES This turns on windowed execution and greater than 8.3 file names ==Ralph E.
