Using Long-Filename on a Netware Server
You have connected to a Netware server from
Windows95 or NT4, but now have to find out, that your nice
"long Filenames" are still only stored as the old 8.3
names on the Novell-Netware server ?
Again, the "Windows95 Resource Kit"

That support for "Long Filenames" was originally
developed for supporting OS/2, but works also fine with Windows95
and NT4.
| Update for Novell Intranetware/Netware 4.11 Servers |
| Novell has adjusted to the situation
in the market: OS/2 (for which the Long-Filenames-feature was originally implemented) was NOT successful as a desktop-operating system ! Windows95/NT systems are using the support for Long-Filenames. Novell has renamed the Netware-Model (from "OS2.NAM" ) to (a more neutral name) "LONG.NAM", so please use now the following commands on the Netware server: LOAD LONG ADD NAME SPACE LONG TO VOLUME SYS |
