LLS does not support long file names

The information in this article applies to the following products:

• Logos Library System software version 2.0 and above
• Logos LessonBuilder software versions 1.0, 1.1

Summary

Logos Library System software does not support long file names (longer than 8 characters). This has no significant effect on product performance or operation except in the following two circumstances:

• The program will fail if the LOGOS20 or LRSYSTEM folder is placed within a folder that has a long file name; for example, C:\Program Files\Logos20.

• The program will fail if the LOGOS20 or LRSYSTEM folder is renamed with a long file name; for example, C:\Bible Study Software.

If LLS was installed successfully, change the location of the program and system files:

• Move the LOGOS20 and LRSYSTEM folders directly under C:\.  In other words, C:\LOGOS20 and C:\LRSYSTEM.
• Edit the WIN.INI file to reflect the change:
  • Click on Start | Run.
  • Type win.ini in the Open field and click OK to open the file into Notepad.
  • Scroll down in the Notepad window to the [LRSystems] section.
  • Change the line System= to System=C:\LRSYSTEM.
  • Change the line LLS= to LLS=C:\LOGOS20\LOGOS.EXE.
  • Click on File | Save, then File | Exit.
  • For Windows 95/98/ME, restart the computer for the change to take affect.

If the installation failed, remove LLS and reinstall:

• Delete the LOGOS20 and LRSYSTEM folders.
• Delete the LOGOS20.INI file, found in C:\Windows.
• Edit the WIN.INI file to remove the [LRSystems] section:
  • Click on Start | Run.
  • Type win.ini in the Open field and click OK to open the file into Notepad.
  • Scroll down in the Notepad window to the [LRSystems] section.
  • Select the [LRSystems] section heading and the corresponding lines below it.
  • Click on Edit | Delete.
  • Click on File | Save, then File | Exit.
  • For Windows 95/98/ME, restart the computer for the change to take affect
• Reinstall LLS: do not change the default program (C:\Logos20) and system (C:\Lrsystem) folders, except to change the drive letter when installing to a drive other than C:\.
