   Marcel Verduyn to All   
   finding out length of directories

   Hello,   
   using Explorer I started to make a backup but it did not complete because one   
   of the directory names was too long. Unfortunately, I do not know which   
   directory name was too long...   
   Is there an MSDOS command or a batch file to find out which directory exceeds   
   a certain length before making a backup?   
   Kind regards,   
      Marcel
