That's enough to show that it's deemed Frequently Asked, even if (in
your case) not Frequently Answered.

I know what happened. The program I tried (cheklinx) was written and
tested with BP7, including the LFN unit. When it began to run out of
stack or heap (by virtue of the target file set growing), I compiled it
with Delphi (using compile-time conditionals; and it is that version
which I tested. Since, on the grounds that 8.3 is the Right Size, all
relevant files here are 8.3 or less, the Pascal here is OK (evidently
the LFN unit does work in XP with SFN) until it dies by 202 stack
overflow.
Apologies.
