>I'd say it's doc errata. In fact the version of Foxtools that ships with VFP 6.0 contains a function that's more than 10 characters long (_WSockGetHostByAddr() which is 19 characters).

Thanks, George; I forgot to check FOXTOOLS. I needed some reassurance before I forged ahead. I have 832 DLL functions to hook into; I nearly freaked when it looked like I might have to come up with a 10 char alias for each one of them.

Version 7.0 also seems to have no problem with 10+ char FLL names.
