Hi

Maybe to rephrase your question...

Do you mean, the filename is longer than 8 characters ? Which would mean long filename, aka LFN.

If so, you can use the corresponding old DOS names :

[gray]{ c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf }[/gray]
assign(fil,[i]'c:\progra~1\apache~1\apache2\conf\httpd~1.con'[/i]);

Or see what can you find on the web. For example on Franz Glaser's page there are some related links.

Or try to compile your program with FreePascal. It supports LFN.

Thank you! FreePascal did the job...
