long filename problem with new include format

Hi,

My (pre)compiler(s ) (borland C++ builder 5 and g++) both seems to have a
problem with the new include format.

In stead of #include <iostream.h> I want to say #include <iostream>.

This works fine for short filenames (<8 chars), but it doesn't work for long
filenames.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Greetings

Aside from using a wrong operating system? Hard to say. It would
be best to ask in a newsgroup dedicated to the compiler you're using.
The language cannot help you overcome an OS deficiency.

Windows supports long filenames, it has been years since it didn't... Funny
how the Windows ports of GCC and related seem to use short file names, but
real Windows tools don't.

The Windows ports of GCC and related most certainly _do_ support* long
filenames. Funnier still is to see your subjective observations about
the source of these tools, from other posts read, reflect in this one -
or so it "seems".

*By supported I do not mean "somereallylong name" converted to
"somere~1"; something "real Windows" is known for before NT/2000 on.
This _may_ help the OP otherwise follow the advice of Victor.
Humbly,

BCB5 works perfectly well for me with long filenames.

Apologies in advance for the long post - I wanted to be sure I included all the relevant details. The answer is probably very, very simple.

I've followed (so far as I understand it) the recipe in the eff-bot's splendid Introduction to Tkinter - see:...

I'm trying to pass a filename (which is a jpeg image) to a php function / file so that it will display. I know that its simple to get PHP to display an image hardcoding in the filename. For example, an href to this: <?php header("content-type:image/jpeg"); $filename = "image_file.jpg"; $im=ImageCreateFromJPEG($filename); ImageJPEG($im);

I am using Borland C++. I run a program which generates output data files, say 'Voltage.dat', 'Current.dat'. I have a variable in my code (say N), and for various values of N (for each value of N), I generate these output data files. After running the program once for a given value of N (say N equal to 1) and when the programme is finished, I manually append the generated filename with the value of N, such as 'Voltage_N1.dat',...
