i would put that right on the top of the things to do with updating synchronet's file base specs.

i just imported a bunch of dirs and it made a huge mess because of the dir codes.  the filename 8.3 limit prevented a decent import

this sounds good. people would have more descriptive dir name listings if they
have long file names.

it would also be good to make a virtual dir on the ftp server where it
shows the directory for the users and the sub dirs.
