ANN: vuFileTools update with new modern password UI

[CarlBarnes]

The Maximum Path is 260 for an application that uses the ANSI “A” Windows API, as has been discussed here previously link below.

Clarion 1 to 12 all use ANSI Windows. Until some release of 12+ changes things there is no other option.

Is it time for FILE:MaxFilePath EQUATE(260) to change to FILE:MaxFilePath EQUATE(32767)?

Clarion 2 - 11.1 calls the Windows ANSI or “A” API. It is limited to 260 and will forever be limited. It is deprecated and is unlikely to be enhanced. All this new stuff requires the Windows UNICODE or “W” API. Almost every new API in Windows since Vista only has a UNICODE prototype with no ANSI wrapper. If Clarion 12 delivers on UNICODE this will be possible but will require lots of code changes e.g. to USTRINGs for everything.
