>>>I have a funny problem. I need to copy a file to %temp% folder and I should check whether the source file is actually that same file. I'll check that some other way, probably using LLFF, but while trying to just compare folder names I ran into a problem. The sourcefile's name is retrieved from the file dialog ocx (of msComCtl), and its name looks like c:\users\dnedeljkovich\AppData\Local\temp\something.ext, however my app.tempPath is set from getenv("temp") or sys(2023) which both give c:\users\DNEDEL~1\AppData\Local\temp\something.ext - which is the same path, just that the latter is in dreaded old 8.3 (and yes, issuing set in cmd.exe shows that TEMP environment variable is exactly what getenv() shows).

3rd parameter should not be a problem
