4275.0. "Long file Names & Pathworks 5.0D eco3" by BACHUS::DEGEEST (Race-Bike Rider) Thu Apr 24 1997 10:44

    
    
    
    Hi,
    
    
    
    
    The following is happening:
    
    
       - NT servers + Pathworks Servers
    
       - NT workstation + WFW clients
    
       - 16 / 32 bit applications
    
    
    Shares exist on NT servers & Pathworks Servers
    
    
       - On NT Share: LFN created by NT workstation can be accessed by
    		      all clients.
    
       - On PW FAT volume: during creation of fat volume restricted to 8.3,
    		      no problem. LFN creation automatically cut at 8.3.
    
       - On PW Share: LFN created by NT workstation: acces by LFN aware
    		      client, no problem. 
                 BUT: when a WFW client with Office 16 bit wants to access
    		      an LFN this is not possible.(no 8.3 equivalent
    		      created by vms like nt & w95 does on FAT)
    
    We can not count on discipline from the users, because they don't even
    know on what kind of server they are working. 
    
    Is there perhaps an undocumented parameter somewhere, like it is
    possible in NT to disable LFN ? 
    
    
    rgds,
