in thread Make readdir stop returning short (8.3) filenames

Thanks, LR. I tried that; bizarrely, it returned the correct long name but then attempting to open the file failed with "no such file" errors.

    jdporter,
    Barring any wonderful insight here from the monks, the next thing I would do is ping the Active State mailing list (assuming it is AS). Jan Dubois has been a wonderful help to me in the past with regards to bizarre windows problems (when I was forced to develop on Vista for a client).

    Cheers - L~R
