Well, I have been messing around with this for a few days now, and long
PRO names are not a problem. If you have a file with many procedures
in it, as long as the filename is 8.3, it will compile and run OK.
Still, it is a lot of work, because reading and writing files must
obey the 8.3 restriction, so if your code does a lot of i/o, you will
have to make some changes.

This *really* irks me, because IDL uses as one of their major selling
points that it is portable across many platforms, including Win95.
In my opinion, IDL is NOT compatible with Win95, and RSI should not
state that it is. OK, ranting and raving over...
