Hey guys in the process of setting up another BBS.. In Synchronet I am adding in file areas and every program I try to upload that has a long filename doesn't bite. Besides changing all of the file names (Which is something I really don't want to do because the file base will be shared with my Mystic Board) is there anything I can do?
Personally, what I would do, is wait for Digital Man to finish work on
the new file system for Synchronet. I had read, a few days ago, that he has started implementing the long filenames in Synchronet. I'm not sure what his timeline is though...
Hope that helps. :)
It does.. I am reading the same thing so I can wait.. It's not a big
deal, all of my old CD's are all dos named and pretty much everything uploaded by other sysOp's are 8,3 also.. Thanks...
Most of the files you'll get through the networks will still maintain the 8.3 filenames as well. (unless some of us forget to change them before sending them out to be hatched... Sorry, Paul)

Hmmm I sense a dig there.. I got you though.. The only files I had an
issue with were the files I added myself like files I downloaded and
added to the Mystic board.. The old CD's I am going to put online all
will be fine.. Thanks again.. Just gotta get motivated to enter all of
the directories in then just import them...
That's the biggest issue that I have as well. Finding time to get everything done that I want... If only we could have 36 hour days... :)
