12 characters? You are probably thinking of the DBLFN Library, which
attempts to patch Clipper to handle long file names but is limited by
Clipper itself. However, the LFN Library (see my sig) has no such
limit. It can handle file names of any length up to the maximum of the
operating system. It works on all Windows version except NT4 and older
NT versions. Get a directory listing with LF_Directory() and delete
the file with LF_Ferase().
