Long filenames (under Win95 and higher)

Hi everybody,

As I was looking for source code that allows accessing to the long
filenames under Win95 I found some code on the SWAG-pages. But what I
really need is a *simple* function/procedure that returns the long
filename for a DOS-filename.
Example: FileName:=LongFileName('THISIS~1');
{ FileName='This is a long file name.txt'; }
If it's possible, please answer directly to
me(Olaf.Uebersch...@t-online.de).

Thanks you in regard.

Olaf

You can download source code for a complete LFN unit at
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/turbspec/dos70p20.zip
I believe that the GetLongPathName function in that unit will do what you
are wanting.
