Hi,

Has anyone tried this or does anyone have any opinions on what would 
happen if we refuse to provide mangled names in the responses to a 
find-first or find-next?

It seems that if we set the Short File Name Len to 0 in responses, that 
might work.

I wonder which apps will break in that case?

The reason for wanting to do this is performance related :-)
 
Regards
