>>Windows 98/Me: GetLongPathNameW is supported by the Microsoft Layer for Unicode. To use this, you must add certain files to your application, as outlined in Microsoft Layer for Unicode on Windows 95/98/Me Systems(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/win32/unilayer_4wj7.asp).

>>Declare Long GetLongPathName in Kernel32.DLL ;
>>   String @ lpszShortPath, ; && file name
>>   String @ lpszLongPath,  ; && path buffer
>>   Long cchBuffer            && size of path buffer

>>ShortPath = 'C:\progra~1'
>>LongPath = Space(1000)
>>PathLen=GetLongPathName(ShortPath, @LongPath, 1000)
