Can you have two levels? Level One that still shows the warnings, but doesn't
stop, and Level Two suppresses all warnings.

I'd keep the current line-format for all parts conforming to the 8.3 format, but
for longer names, print the entire filename, a space, and the description. Like
this:
3001.dat Brick 2 x 4
3001c01p01.dat Brick 2 x 4 Some Variation with Pattern
3002.dat Brick 2 x 3
A backwards-compatibility switch is good -- maybe with option to truncate (or
not) the description to fit 80 bytes per line?

If it's running in Windows, I think a backwards-compatible switch should use the Win32 API to get the short filename (with the ~1 at the end, usually, determined using PathGetShortPath) and use that in place of the long filename. --Travis (15 years ago, 27-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
