Even not so wealthy users should be now at a development level of Windows 95a (first version) (how many years Win95 exists now?). - The 'old' technology (here the 8.3 filenames) (...)

This is unbearable. I propose a potential solution to the problem (URL) and nobody bothers to comment on it. Instead everyone seems to prefer to rehash the tired old arguments on the merits of various operating systems. Who cares? This has been (...) (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
