- >>>When I do a delete, it just doesnt go..!!
-
- Check the size of the file name. If it is longer than 40 characters, it
- will only show up in dir utils and workbench as the first 40. This includes
- c:dir. Do a c:list from a shell and see if the filename is longer (list will
- show the entire filename). Filenames that are too long "won't" work with
- wildcards because the system can't access them that way (it will assume no
- file is longer than 40 characters). You have to do a delete with the complete
- filename.
-
- I have had this problem, both with and without the AFSdemo on Aminet.
