Support Files

If your application uses support files and keeps them in sub-folders, short path names should be used.

FUNCTION GetShortPathName$(lPath$)     lPath$  = lPath$+chr$(0)     sPath$  = space$(256)     lenPath = len(sPath$)     calldll #kernel32, "GetShortPathNameA",_                         lPath$ As ptr,_                         sPath$ As ptr,_                        lenPath As long,_                              r As long     GetShortPathName$=left$(sPath$,r) END FUNCTION

As an example:
My game SuperCraps has a seperate folder for High Scores file and it also has a has a seperate for BMPs.

Instead of
Open "\HighScores\HighScores.dat",
use
filePath$=DefaultDir$+"\HighScores\"
Open GetShortPathName$(filePath$)
