OS/2

Summary:

Applications using long filenames and extended file attributes are

supported under OS/2 versions 1.2 and later running the high

performance file system (HPFS); however, a bit in the executable file

must be set to tell OS/2 that the executable file supports long

filenames.

The following are two different methods to specify that the

application supports long filenames:

1. Modify the executable file using the EXEHDR utility:

EXEHDR /NEWFILES test.exe

2. Link with a module definition file containing the following line

specifying the optional attribute <NEWFILES>:

NAME [appname] [apptype] NEWFILES
