(...) Wouldn't adding the year take care of this? Or you could take the pause/lugnet approach: s6938-1.dat s6938-2.dat etc.. submodels of this set could be: s6938-1a.dat s6938-1b.dat etc.. It just barely fits in the 8.3 format, but it would probably (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Is the 8.3 requirement a legacy thing left over from LDraw & LEdit being DOS applications? What programs in LDraw lore -don't- work on longer filenames? --Todd (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Hmm. LDAO is OK with long file names, except for a few functions (Copy File is one, I think) which explicitly require a valid 8.3 name. LDAO can be configured to translate long paths/names to short versions before shelling to other programs. (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Jacob, Does GNAT-ADA have an option for DOS or Windows compile? When I compiled buildmpd.exe, I didn't look for an option, I assumed it was a DOS compile. BTW, did you (Jacob) receive the buildmpd.exe I e-mailed? Steve (25 years ago, 15-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Ah. And I have now wiped GNAT off my system, so I couldn't tell which one it was. Windows Explorer thinks the compiled file (buildmpd.exe) is a DOS executable.
