You don't say if you are trying to store the long file name from os/2 TO winX or FROM winX to os/2. It makes a differance. Going from os/2 over to a winX file system (win32), only 8.3 will work. This has to do with how winX stores the names. WinX uses slight of hand (read I don't know how it works) to store the name. Unix, Linux, and OS/2 really do use long file names. WinX doesn't. Os/2 uses HPFS, an installable file system (ifs) that comes with it by default. You can store long file names FROM the winX box over to the os/2 drive because HPFS supports this, and winX can & will make use of that fact. Win32 can't do this and I've never seen a 'fix' for that issue.
