Re: The Long Name peculiarities

Hi Richard, Thanks for pointing me to the bug report. Seeing that you put it in there in 2005, it's pretty clear it won;t get fixed at this point so I'll have to program around it. I noticed the response to your bug report included the time honored excuse that fixing it would cause backwards comp

Re: The Long Name peculiarities

Re: The Long Name peculiarities
