- Hi Everyone,
-
- A while ago I posted about problems with long filenames and the make that comes
- with the WorkSet/2 stuff. Someone suggested that I get the new make from
- hobbes (under .../2.0/programming), which I did.
-
- Well, it still dies, and with the same error message too. I've posted it here
- (sorry for the wrapping, but that can't be helped) so y'all can see what I
- mean. How do I go about getting NMAKE to recognize long filenames? I guess
- it's not critical, but long filenames are great for descriptive purposes, and
- I'd like to use them. After all, my drive is formatted HPFS for a reason...
-
- Thanks in advance for any help (I get the feeling this will be a simple one).
