Oh yeah why would anyone coming in off of FTP wany descriptive directory names when guessing what the 8 chr word is short for is much more fun and challenging! lol Aside from the fact that it would be nice to be able to make a long filename sub directory seen only via FTP -- so that you're not bouncing off of the walls -- please do not forget file areas have this thing called a "Long Description" that it could list to the FTP User. Besides, Synchronet already supports long filename directories on the *SYSOP END* it's just in the FTP it uses the Internal Code instead. Now to me, THAT is whats insane. -- .---------------------------------------------------------------. | [TiME WaRRiOR] aka [Dave Kelso] AIM: Twar782 | +o Malkavia BBS | | www : synchsupport.net - malkaviabbs.com - xpresit.net | | www$: josephsjewelersonline.com - preferedinsurance.com | | @: time.warrior@malkaviabbs. com | \______________________________________________________________/ --- Synchronet 3.12a-Win32 NewsLink 1.76 * Malkavia - Chicago, IL - telnet://malkaviabbs.com --- Synchronet 3.13a-Win32 NewsLink 1.83 .
