Shadow_DOSName Initialization Variable

See Also

Controls whether VSS places long file names in the shadow folder. Used in the SRCSAFE.INI file only.

Syntax

Shadow_DOSName = {Yes|No}

Example

Allows long file names in the shadow folder:

Shadow_DOSName = No

Remarks

Versions of VSS that support long file names (Windows NT and Macintosh) can place these long file names into a shadow folder. However, in a cross-platform environment, this may not be wanted, as it may create file names that are unreadable to MS-DOS. This variable can therefore be used to force all versions of VSS to truncate names to MS-DOS standard names in the shadow folder.
