Ahh that damn long file name issue. I have the same problem with FileIO and
file names longer than 126 characters. (Seems to happen for me only on
Win2K). Have you tried using Buddy API's baShortFileName function.
Below is a sample snippet of code I use with my file IO wrappers...
-- If this is a windows platform and file name is longer than 126
characters then...
if the platform contains "Win" and pFilePath.char.count > 126 then
pFilePath = baShortFileName(pFilePath)
end if
Hope this helps.
