>>Hi Bill,

>>Long file names are nice - but ultimately lead to all kinds of problems. It looks like Nancy has you fixed up. But, remember that when you name files like this - you are cutting yourself off from Novell Server. I understand that this may or may not be a big deal.
>Thanks John, but we recently loaded an nlm that allows NetWare to recognize long file names and in a few weeks we will be converting to a NT server.
Bill:
If you are running the OS2 long file name support NLM... be careful. In my experience it's not very stable. I would have to agree with John that you should avoid long file names and stick with 8.3 format.
Besides... what happens if you want to sell your software one day. It could happen.
