We have a 200 computer network with all W2K servers and about 50 Macs
connecting to various shares on the network. The Macs seems to run
into constant problems with the Mac filename being too long to place
on the Windows network. I am unable to find a clear and concise
article that lays out the limitations. Anyone able to add anything?
