| Description: |
It has been noted on comp.lang.tcl: http://groups.google.com/groups? dq=&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF- 8&group=comp.lang.tcl&selm=3d2c61f7.5612418% 40news.look.ca that the use of a path's short form as the normalized form (on Win 95, 98, ME) is not acceptable: it does not always correctly identify the right file. This patch should provide support for long file names on Win 95, 98, but: (1) It needs testing on those platforms (2) We need to see whether the implementation here is fast enough (the original reason for the short form being used was speed). | |||

Logged In: YES user_id=32170 applied slightly faster version of this patch. vincentdarley added on 2002-07-11 20:54:43: File Deleted - 26789: File Added - 26803: tclWinFile.diff Logged In: YES user_id=32170 Tested patch on Win2k by forcing the use of the 95,98 branch. Seems to work, but needs testing on real 95,98. vincentdarley added on 2002-07-11 18:51:30: File Added - 26789: tclWinFile.diff | |||
