     Hi,
     
     We're trying to use a samba server as a repository for all our PC 
     source media, and I've discovered that if an exe exists in a directory 
     with more than 8 characters then the client (NT) will complain that it 
     cannot find the exe. Changing the name of the directory to 8 chars or 
     less fixes the problem. I've played around with name mangling options 
     but cannot get it to work with long name directories.
     
     Any ideas?
