(...) Sorry for posting to my own post.

I have just updated DATheader with some features. According to the actual discussion with long filenames I have tested long filenames also with spaces in the name and all worked fine. But keep in mind that this is only for windows systems. mikeheide (18 years ago, 28-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad)
