When I go to publish, FP2003 creates derived file names that are way too
long for my server. It supports names including extentions up to 32
characters. My folder names were only 8 characters long and that generated
several derived names over 35 characters. My only solution was to shorten
my folder names to 5 characters, but this isn't going to work on larger
sites.

Is there a way to limit the length of names that FP creates when publishing
the site?
