The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SourceSafe for Windows NT, version 3.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
SourceSafe might not retrieve long filenames correctly on a computer running
Windows NT even if the long filenames option is checked from the GUI and the
LONG_FILENAMES variable is added to one of the .INI files.
CAUSE
=====
SourceSafe for Windows NT supports long filenames only if the drive is a mounted
NTFS drive. Even though Windows NT FAT drives support long filenames, SourceSafe
for Windows NT writes the file as an 8.3 filename.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article.
This bug was corrected in Visual SourceSafe version 4.0.
