Barry, I've never experienced the problem you've described. Instead, the
only time I've experienced such problems was in the opposite scenario:
transferring Mac files to PC. When I copied Mac files to a PC-formatted
floppy, the floppy itself truncated the names. A PC-nerd friend told me
that even though Windows 95 PCs can read long file names, the floppies
can't. I've also had the same problem trying to zip web files for
downloading by PC users. After those experiences, I started using 8.3 file
names just to avoid future problems.
If you want to mail me a site on a floppy, I'll be glad to give it a test
drive for you on my Mac.
