Not sure exactly which conference to pos this is, but I've noticed a problem
with the longname file support that is giving my organization fits.  We use
filenames such as 55_AWhite.cup.car  Notice there are 2 periods in the file
name.  Well, WinServer wants to insert it's own [1] instead so the filename
looks like 55_AWhite[1].cup.car  Well, that means that everytime someone
downloads a file, they have to change the name of it.. not good, since it is
vital that everyone running our program must have the SAME filenames on each
computer.  Also, if you leave a space in the name, WinServer wants to insert
a "+" sign upon download.  Also, not good.  Is there anyway to get these
problems fixed?  It's causing us all kinds of trouble and I'd hate to have to
look for another software package, being a dedicated Wildcat user since V.3

Than you for your time...
