-> -> wcNAV is a 16bit application = No LFN's.

-> -> Winserver v5.5.450.1 and above can handle LFN's in the file database
-> -> only, message database attachments are still 8.3  .

-> -> -> Hi,
-> -> ->    I have a question. Whenever I go to upload a file I click on the
-> -> -> browse button and the directory of my C drive comes up. I noticed 
-> -> -> alot of the files or folders are like: Dragon~1 Can WcNav and WC 5.x
-> -> -> handle long file/folder names? It seems weird to me that WC 5.x and
-> -> -> WCNav can't handle long file names in this day and age. I tried
-> -> -> accessing a few bbs sites including this one and they all have this
-> -> -> problem. Again, I'm not sure if its a limitation of WC 5.x, WCNav or
-> -> -> both. Anyone with a fix for this or work around please let me know.

-> -> -> Thanks
-> -> -> John


-> So is there a client that works like WCNav but is 32 bit?

No not yet, I think Hector is going to rewrite wcNav in the future.
