Is there an updated version of DIR() that will determine not only the size, date and time of a dos file but also pull out the expanded name that can be typed in from Windows programs? I am running Arev 2.03 on Windows 98.
TIA,
Rod

Nasty problem, this one, owing to FAT and NTFS directory entries being different structures. The long filenames are stored in FAT entries adjacent to the short filenames. See This thread

Just use the DOS DIR command & redirect to a file. OSREAD that file & parse it. Actually very fast.

Although you may have to OSBREAD it if it's large. I processed a listing this morning of over 5000 files. Including directories, it would have maxed out OSREAD.
