Re: [hatari-devel] Maybe a gemdos bug, I don't know

Hi again

No, it seems not to be enough.

When I compile my test with gen030.prg, it includes some files that are 
in a 12 chars name folder.
This is the warning I sent you in the previous mail.

But after, when I run my program, it has to load some datas into the 
same directory, it loads them OK, but it doesn't warn me about the 8+3 
length.
