Steven:

I really wish you could remember. I have spent countless hours trying
to make this work. I even messaged Brandon Alberry who once wrote about
how to di it with Win95, but could not make it work with Win98.
It appears that win98 does NOT recognize Warp as long-filename capable,
and thus sends 8.3 format filenames only.

Bummer, and a REAL annoyance!

If you have better info, please post it. I've been all over the net,
but to no avail.
