| RE: MS-DOS long file names Ok everything seems to be set properly. A little more information. What we
do is use windows search to find the file name. Then we click and drag the
file name into Procomm. On the windows 98 machines it will fill in the file
name with the shortened file name. On the xp machine it is using the long
name. I did look at the file system types and the 98 machines are fat32 and
the XP is NTSF. I hope this will help in solving are problem.
