Long File Name

[Rajinikanth]

Hai All,
I have some basic knowledge of FAT12, FAT16 . Now I am studying about FAT32. According to my knowledge , There are only 32 byte entry for a file / Directory . And for file name,they have allocated only 11 bytes ( 8 for name 3 for extension ). But from windows95, we can give filename more than 8 characters. How it is possible? How the OS developers override the limitation ( 8 Characters ).. Is there any new directory format for storing directory entries?.

With regards

LFN's actually chain together multiple directory entries. [sig]<p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>If everything seems to be going well: you don't have enough information.......[/sig]
