Long filenames

I'm writing a program under Dos32 which generates long filenames. I've heard that Euphoria can deal with long filenames but mine won't work. I think it's because the first 8 digits of some of them are the same, (and need to stay the same) eg "m3572856" "m35728564" "m357285641" etc. As far as I know I'm going to have to write a filename "nanny" which will allow me to attach one filename to it's parent (specific to this program). I think I've got that thought out but it's going to be complicated. At the moment, when the file name grows past the 8 digits, E just refuses to open the file. No error messages, no crash, which makes me wonder if there might be an easier way lurking near. Any ideas? Andrew (Razor) Sharp
