(...) OK, that makes a lot more sense. LDView had the same problem with whitespace in filenames until I specifically added support for that. (LDView now gives you a warning when it encounters whitespace in a filename.) --Travis (18 years ago, 28-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Sorry for posting to my own post. In particular if the "longer file names" cannot have blanks in the names, then there is no problem for LPub or LSynth. 20.3 would require no changes at to LPub or LSynth.
