Hello All,
I want to take just a moment and explain what has happened to the
file names here on the SIMTEL20.
When we first started up the PD:<MACINTOSH> area it was explained
to us that we could use up to 39 character (don't faint) to name files.
This is all well and good for use here and on some HOSTS but a
large number of HOSTS and GATEWAYS do not like file names over 14 chars
in length and the last part gets cut off. Since many files are broken in
to small parts (yes parts are parts) to make mailing easier people were
finding that they could FTP the file OK but when they got the files the
GATEWAY or HOST had cut off the last part which showed the part number.
Because of this over sight on my part I am now renaming some 2000
files to comform to the 14 char requirement. Please be patient with me
and offer any suggestions you may have for speeding up this process.
Take care and Happy MAC'ing.
