Descript.ion File.bbs and returns

Post by *miguesmart »

Hi
Are there some way to preserve returns in a descript.ion or file.bbs?And some way to extend the max length to describe a file?
I know is a standard but, just in case.
Some alternatiVe method to describe files so easily as Ctrl+Z?
Thx guys
Migue!

AFAIK descript.ions don't support multiple lines and the line length is limited to something like 511 chars. Files.bbs should suport multiple lines.
I know is a standard but, just in case.
I doubt Christian will not adhere to standard.

What exactly do you mean?

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Indeed files.bbs supports multiple lines, descript.ion does not. But files.bbs uses the DOS file names, not the long names. It was discussed to create a new format which supports both long names and multiple lines, but this would be incompatible with all other programs...
