SYMPTOMS
========
When you use Windows 95 or Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks to connect to
an FPNW volume that contains directories with long names on a computer running
Windows NT 4.0 Server with Service Pack 2 and FPNW, the clients will not display
the 4.1 directory list correctly.
Below is a sample of a "dir" (directory command) issued at the command prompt.
You can see that the first directory with fewer than 9 characters is used in
place of the 8.3 directory name for every long directory.
Volume in drive I is TESTVOL
Directory of I:
WWWROOT <DIR> 01-10-97 4:19p 123456789
WWWROOT <DIR> 01-10-97 4:25p Document1
WWWROOT <DIR> 01-13-97 8:57a wwwroot
DIR1 TXT 37 01-13-97 9:52a dir1.txt
1 file(s) 37 bytes
3 dir(s) 1,999,896,576 bytes free
