2157.0. "teamlinks and pwd v5 server" by EVTAI1::5dhcp140.evt.dec.com::BOURDARIAS () Mon Apr 28 1997 10:58

Hello,

Must I post a wish to this problem :

From Teamlinks, create mail, 
attach file from pathworks V.5 file server.

If this file has a long name, it is displayed on windows of file 
attachement, but when we click on attach there is a error message windows:

filenameofthisfile.rtf

"This filename has too many letters" (traduction of french message "ce nom 
de fichier a trop de lettres)

Or if there is blanck characters in the name, "this filename is not valid" 
(traduction of french message "ce nom de fichier n'est pas valide")

Is it a known problem ?

Thanks,
Sylvie.

2157.1I mean 16-bit!XANADU::CUMMINGSJerry Cummings, TeamLinksMon Apr 28 1997 11:384
TeamLinks is still a 6-bit app and does not
handle Win95-style long filenames.

Ok, but this problem occured only if the file is on remote/file service 
pathworks. There is no problem with c:\local name.doc or via other 
network type like NetBEUI.

Is there a workaround to replace long word by ~ ?
I suppose I will QARed.

Thanks,
Sylvie.

I think I looked at this a long time ago.  Pathworks doesn't seem
to return 8.3 names when called by the 16-bit MS Common File Open/Save
dialog.
