[AL] Questions about file_select_ex()

[Liu R. <ric...@ho...>]

In WinMe, I created 3,000 files in a directory. The call to 
file_select_ex()
could only return 2,047 files in the directory. Including the entry "..", I
think file_select_ex() can only return at most 2,048 entries.

A directory with such large number of files seems crazy. However, my app
is an emulator. The number of ROMs supported does exceed this limitation.
This limitation forces my users to place their ROMs into different 
directories
which may not be easy (a single CD-ROM can contian all the ROMs).

My questions are:
1. Does the limitation exist?
2. If yes, how can I fix it?
3. Can I show directories only in file_select_ex()? (I need it so that 
users
can select which directories they want to save their files.)
4. Is it possible to call the common dialog boxes in Windows? (It is a pain
(possible?) to make file_select_ex() to display files with non-English
characters.)

I am using Allegro V4.0.3.

Thanks.

Ricky Liu
