I do know it. But I didn't do that. All I did was renaming the whole directory.

Thanks, that's much better for me. Regarding the bug : The only thing I can give you is the files with 0 bytes length themselves - but I think they wouldn't be of any use, I assume ... 😉

Okay, thanks, but that would require me to always press this key combination ... Seems I have no other coice ...
Re: Planning to build a Win98SE-era gaming PC

I'm planning to build myself such a PC one day as well - but I don't have much of a clue since I simply don't know which motherboards are supporting Win98SE nowadays. Same goes for the other peripherals. So thanks anyway for what you have already written here : It gives me at least some hints ... 😉 …

OKay, here is the file : You might notice that I worked a tiny bit with the ESC sequences, not much yet, but it does look a tiny bit better now. Since the .lng file format isn't allowed here, I simply renamed it (via the windows explorer) into german.txt .
A strange bug with the command "rename"
Posted on 2011-08-30, 18:34
Hello, everyone, last night I encountered a strange bug with the command "rename", or rather its short form : REN Within the RENamed directory, ALL files were "shortened" to the length of 0 bytes I don't quite remember anymore what I actually did. All I can remeber is the following : - I had DOSBOX …

As a sidenote: Epic MegaGames also distributed Jazz Jackrabbit, one of my favourite Jump&Run games.

Under Windows 98 it was running fine last year. (Trilogy CD Version.) Why don't you try another emulator instead ?

Blue Byte (the developers) once made a patch available from their homepage, have you tried it ? The only *truly* runnable version under win xp of The Settlers II is said to be included in the German Collector's Edition of the Settlers II remake.

but filenames and directory names with the length of 11 chars is relatively seldom. Still didn't get it, right? They are the ONLY usable thing for dos games. No 254 char file names, no spaces in directories, only 3 char extensions. Oh, THAT ! Okay, now I understand what you mean. I actually thought …

At Microsoft, there is somewhere a document describing how to install Win98 together with Win2000. I hope this helps. Maybe this helps as well: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/217210/EN-US/

This is now a windows app ? Why didn't they just keep the old DOS installer as well ?

Yes, but filenames and directory names with the length of 11 chars is relatively seldom. The only *regular* occurence of names with this length I've seen in my "computing career" were volume names. This can be quite irritating to someonme who isn't aware of that (especially MacOS users might …

And those long folder and filenames are on the CD they want to use in DOSBox? And that is the puzzling part. What old DOS game is going to have files and/or folders that don't hold to the 8.3 convention? Well, CD-ROM names an be as long as 11 characters in one go. But DOSBOX - and Win95, by the way …

an remark on this "8+3 style" shortening of volume names Never used dos? Too long, I'd guess. I was still using Win 3.1 in 1999. Since about a month ago, I still used Win98Se. The only problem with the 8+3 notation I have is the *shortening* of names (file names, volume names etc.). Nothing else. …

Not a driver, but an MCI part (well, it's too long ago sincve I used Win 3.1, so I can't recall much of this anymore). MCI was the multimedia part of Windows, and my Windows 98 still has it, deeply hidden. (Can't access it now, since my Win98SE PC went down about a month ago.) So, an MCI part or …

I see. Dodn't know this guide before, because I used another one I found through the Wiki, I think. Perhaps it would be a good idea to include in that guide an remark on this "8+3 style" shortening of volume names, just to avoid confusion. At least I must say that it highly confused me and that I …

On the Mac OS keyboard I'm writing currently on, there is no altgr key. Hm, but I just tested this: alt + ctrl + + works. Strange.
Re: MAC OSX problem

Hello, maybe I can help a little bit: Under DOSBOX, only the first letters of a file name or volume name are shown. DOSBOX shortens everything like thisisaname~1.txt , this style. The bad thing is, that it does this with CDROM names as well ! Even worse, in my configuration, I can't access these …
