long filename problem with new include format

[Anthony Lansbergen]

Hi,

My (pre)compiler(s) (borland C++ builder 5 and g++) both seems to have a
problem with the new include format.

In stead of #include <iostream.h> I want to say #include <iostream>.

This works fine for short filenames (<8 chars), but it doesn't work for long
filenames.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Greetings

Anthony

Aside from using a wrong operating system? Hard to say. It would
be best to ask in a newsgroup dedicated to the compiler you're using.
The language cannot help you overcome an OS deficiency.

Windows supports long filenames, it has been years since it didn't... Funny
how the Windows ports of GCC and related seem to use short file names, but
real Windows tools don't.

The Windows ports of GCC and related most certainly _do_ support* long
filenames. Funnier still is to see your subjective observations about
the source of these tools, from other posts read, reflect in this one -
or so it "seems".

*By supported I do not mean "somereallylongname" converted to
"somere~1"; something "real Windows" is known for before NT/2000 on.
This _may_ help the OP otherwise follow the advice of Victor.

BCB5 works perfectly well for me with long filenames.

Forgetting (the moral equivalent of) using namespace std; ?
