Howto split long filenames with \\?\c:\... using _tsplitpath() equivalent

I want to be able to split regular MAX_PATH length filenames and 32K UNICODE
filenames using the \\?\ naming convention.

Are there any equivalents to _tsplitpath() for long names, or am I left to
writing my own split code?
Thanks

Read carefully the remarks about buffer overflow problems with _tsplitpath()
and then write your own. I don't see any reference to another and it will
be complex because you can have remote storage for those filenames.

Anyway, HTH, L.

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.

I have a variable that can be between (1) and (1,2,3,4,5) etc... this variable shows which type of query to run, and each runs from a private void function.
