MS-DOS
Summary:
SYMPTOMS
If the combined length (in characters) of the filenames and the
loader exceeds 128 characters, MS-DOS truncates the string and
issues a "file not found" error message.
CAUSE
This message is seen only when the loader is executed from the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. However, if the command is issued from the
LANMAN.INI file from the services group, it produces an
unsatisfactory error, "could not load ub drivers."
WORKAROUND
Limit the sum character length (spaces inclusive) to be equal to or
less than 128 characters.

Example
-------
Assume LAN Manager operates from the directory LANMAN20.DOS. The
following command is in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
c:\lanman20.dos\drivers\ub\loadniu.exe -r -d -m:d8 -p:4 -i:5 c:\lanman20.dos\
drivers\ub\ex2niuw.xfm c:\lanman20.dos\drivers\ub\stdlc
At run time, the last file will be truncated to
c:\lanman20.dos\drivers\ub\
and the following error message will be issued:
File not found
