The garbling of file names longer than 31 chars is an artifact of the legacy MacOS API that InterMapper Traditional uses for accessing the File System. When the file name is longer than 31 chars, it is represented by a shorter name with a number tacked on after a '#'sign.
The only way to work-around this problem in 4.1.3 is to run 'intermapperd'. The unix daemon should display longer file names properly (it uses the underlying Unix API directly). I am looking into fixing this problem for the next version.

I have a customer who is running IM 4.1.3 on their X server. Sometimes our naming convention gets to be long in characters. When we get over 31 characters, IM will garble the end over filename on the maps and in IM Remote. But if you look at the filename on the system HD it looks right. Has anyone else seen this? I know the easy answer is just kept the names under 31 characters, but that's not what my customer wants. Is there anything I can change on Intermapper to make it output properly?
