IDL & Win95 -- arrggh [message #6512]

Hi all,

I just tried to port a large IDL package that runs fine on VMS, IRIX,
Sun, and Linux to Win95. It appears that IDL does not recognize the
long filenames that Win95 uses. IDL wants the filenames in this
funny truncated state that MS came up with (filena~1.dat, filena~2.dat,
etc). This will cause serious problems; for example, what happens when
I write out a data file and then later want to read it back?

I was using v3.6, but a colleague told me this also happens under 4.0.1
Has anyone addressed this problem, or better yet, does RSI have a patch?
Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
