   That's enough to show that it's deemed Frequently Asked, even if (in   
   your case) not Frequently Answered.

   I know what happened.  The program I tried (cheklinx) was written and   
   tested with BP7, including the LFN unit.  When it began to run out of   
   stack or heap (by virtue of the target file set growing), I compiled it   
   with Delphi (using compile-time conditionals; and it is that version   
   which I tested.  Since, on the grounds that 8.3 is the Right Size, all   
   relevant files here are 8.3 or less, the Pascal here is OK (evidently   
   the LFN unit does work in XP with SFN) until it dies by 202 stack   
   overflow.   
      
   Apologies.
