I think in the past I sent you emails twice (after getting your permission for using your code). I got no replies, and my suggestions to the TB code were not implemented. Twice I posted to CCC, when I also tried to catch your attention, I got a fast reply. Honestly, I was not sure, if you received my mails. I have no problems with unanswered mails. I myself do not answer many mails, even when I read and appreciate them. >Why it is limited -- look at the comment two lines below: > >// Check for kxykznb?.emd (8+3 format) > >8+3 format does not work for 6-men TBs. Yes, after I hit the "Submit Follow UP" button I got it. I think nobody is really interested in 8.3 systems anymore. Or are some ISO file systems with 8.3 restrictions for CDs still important (ISO 9660 Level 1?)? I until recently used pure DOS now and then, and TBs worked well (with 2 lines changed to your code, IIRC). Having 6-men TBs available under such a restricted system won't make much sense. OTOH choosing the "extension" slightly different, say nw and nb instead of nbw and nbb would leave the possibility. Or even use kpk.nb and kpk.nbe for uncompressed and compressed. If I really want to have it, I should be able to do it - if I am allowed to? I suppose engine authors using your code are allowed to do minor modifications? Some are needed anyway (at the start of tbindex.cpp) for many/most engines. Thanks, Dieter
