    Hi,
    I have a question. Whenever I go to upload a file I click on the
    browse button and the directory of my C drive comes up. I noticed that
    alot of the files or folders are like: Dragon~1 Can WcNav and WC 5.x
    handle long file/folder names? It seems weird to me that WC 5.x and
    WCNav can't handle long file names in this day and age. I tried
    accessing a few bbs sites including this one and they all have this
    problem. Again, I'm not sure if its a limitation of WC 5.x, WCNav or
    both. Anyone with a fix for this or work around please let me know.

    Thanks
    John

    Will there be an update to allow WCNav to use long file names?

    wcNAV is a 16bit application = No LFN's.

    Winserver v5.5.450.1 and above can handle LFN's in the file database
    only, message database attachments are still 8.3 .

    No not yet, I think Hector is going to rewrite wcNav in the future.

    You'd have to ask Hector.

    I think he intends to do work on wcnav in the future, but there are more pressing issues and features he is working on now. He's done a lot to the
    web and mail interfaces especially aver the past several months now, and
    is also busy with wc6 from what I understand.
