Works in progress:
The current versions of LIST support long file names under Windows 9x/ME/XP and 2000.
A 32-bit version is in the works which will support LFN under Windows NT 4.0.
It's a ways off yet. Windows Me and XP seem to support LIST's use of long
file names just fine. They sure are folksy, though!
The LJBOOK and SORTF programs are also being converted to handle long file
names, virtual memory, etc. Any interest in these program? Let me know what
you're looking for by emailing me at vern@buerg.com.
