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...
