The version of mklist.exe packaged with the early versions of this download
was not able to cope with long filenames, and running it would not have
updated your parts list. With a fast response from Don Heyse (the author of
mklist) the downloads have been updated to include version 1.6 of mklist.

Actually Lars is the real author. I’ve just done some minor updates
because the LEDIT emulator in ldglite needs a parts.lst file.

By default mklist v1.6 widens the filename column to allow 21.3 filenames,
with the result that the description now extends to column 90. This has been
successfully tested with MLCad, but if you are using other or older
applications, the legacy support options -8, -r and -t (see below) may be
necessary.

For the one guy still using LEDIT (you know who you are) -8 is all you need.
I assumed the only reason you’d want to DOS mangle the longer filenames is
if you’re still using a DOS program, like LEDIT. So -8 overrides the other
compatibility options and tries to produce a file similar to the original
DOS mklist program.
Have fun,
Don
