Problem: word6.0 does not see mangled Names if running on WinNT

[Hanns-Peter Ermert]

Hallo,

after an upgrade from samba 1.9.16p11 to samba 1.9.18p10 
long filenames and directorynames are no more listed as mangled names in
the
open file box of word6.0 or excel. (File->Open)

The problem exists only when word6 or Excel (or probably any other
Application of MSOffice 4.2/4.3) is running on
Windows NT 4.0 or 3.51 and I try to open a document via the file->open
listbox.

If I open the word6->file->open listbox in word6 running on Windows95,
then all mangled names are listed. 

I can also see all the mangled names if I list the files in the old
"filemanager" on Windows-NT
selecting the detailed view or in a dosbox with "dir /X":

06.11.98  08:21 <DIR>    AAVER~BP     aaverylongdirname
	

I played also with default settings and several options but there was no
positive change in the
behavior concerning mangled names.

I checked this behavior on samba-1.9.18p10 on Linux and on solaris 2.6 .

Here an extract of the settings:

preserve case = yes
mangled names = yes
short preserve case = no
mangle case = no
case sensitive = no
default case = lower
mangled stack = 50

Looking forward for a solution of the problem

Peter
