  • My program gets as parameter: c:windowsdesktopimportant_file.lbl
    but i have to get the name in a DOS 8 char size.

    I can make it like the 7 th and 8 char = ~1
    like: c:windowsdesktopimport~1.lbl
    (but this get's difficult when converting 3.1.lbl to a DOS 8 standard)
    (It then uses a sort of random number to fill the 3d till 6th char)

    Sow, I need something to get the DOS 8 char standard name of a file..

    I need help on this plz!
