In response to comments about 8x3 filenames, I wanted to give a few
pointers.

I use L3P (the DOS program), so I have to use 8x3 names. However, often I
name my files something longer than 8 characters. when I want to render one,
I merely truncate it when I type it in.

For example:
"Ambulance (wide) NYC.dat" would become "Ambula~1.dat"

For any longer-than-8 files, type six letters, "~", and "1", and ignore any
spaces.

Hope this helps!
