Hi, I did not add LFN, I just made DRL to stop displaying parts of LFN
names that it gets to see accidentally if you select "all attributes".

Please put the new version online somewhere and announce it to the
[email protected] list, so others can have a deep look on it. I am
a bit out of spare time.

For ASM code, you need an ASM, so I preferred to replace the upcase
string function by Pascal code. Intr is implemented a bit weird in
the Turbo Pascal system libraries, so I preferred not to use it,
which caused a big discussion on fd-dev...

I avoided the CRT because I thought it would be a nice idea to do so.
Other Pascal versions may not even have it. However, others on fd-dev
prefer to keep using CRT, so this was kind of an error by me.


The .TP config file can be loaded from Turbo Pascals IDE to set up
things like compiler options. Nothing to worry about :-). I did for
example configure it to use only native FPU code, no emulated floating
point. I hope. And not to use debugging info and so on.

And no, there is still no support to read the color config from a file.
You must still recompile or hexedit the binary to change colors.

I am CC:ing this to fd-dev...

Cheers, Eric
