Well, WindowsNT, based on DOS, doesn't! It >will throw the file out if the name is over eight (dot) three characters long! I ran into a similar problem while trying to render someone else's LW file on a Raptor. They had a file named "lastone?". Lightwave on the Ami had no trouble with it, but the Raptor net transfer threw up on THAT name! I guess the moral is, while the Raptor s/w is still "growing up", watch out you don't try to get "cute" with the file names… Remember Microsoft's DOS is the "lowest UNcommon denomitor" here: 8.3 Regards, Luke Montgomery Compvid Graphics Services
