A few months ago I went through this with a customer who wanted a copy of the archives on CDROM from their list. The extended filenames work fine under Windows, but not under the MacOS. They have a different format for their extended filenames. The only common denominator I found was the 8.3 dos filenames.
Ouch!
Do you know whether 11-character directory names (which do not contain any dots) will work portably?
Greetings, Norbert.
