hi,

during compilation, a file called 'longnamelist' has been generated. i realize that filenames should not be longer than 100 chars. is there any (simple) way around that? just curious: what generated that file? mk? rc?

cheers,
++pac.

    during compilation, a file called 'longnamelist' has been generated.

Sounds more like tar(1) to me when you exceed the max length
of a directory entry component (as distinct from the length
of the whole pathname).

yes, you're right: the name is just relative to the extract dir. tx,
