MORE INFORMATION
================
In addition to a description of the book's problems, each entry in this document
might also include sections labeled "Correction" and "Comments." Please note
that the "Correction" section is worded for correcting the book and does not
necessarily address the problem introduced by the book error. The "Comments"
section contains specific information for working around the problem.
CD-ROM contains short filenames
-------------------------------
Windows 95 using Real-mode (MS-DOS) CD-ROM drivers and Windows NT 3.51 are both
unable to read the long filenames on the companion CD-ROM for the book
"Hitchhiker's Guide to Visual Basic and SQL Server." NAMEXPAN.EXE is a utility
that copies the short CD-ROM filenames to a hard disk and then renames the short
filenames to their original long filenames. The following file is available for
download from the Microsoft Download Center:
NAMEXPAN.EXE
(http://download.microsoft.com/download/vb40pro/MSPRESS/2.0/WIN98Me/EN-US/NAMEXPAN.EXE)
