Hi Judith,

I'm sure my answer isn't the best .. and maybe not even correct,
but I think I remember seeing somewhere Win32 API routines
for converting file paths from the long format to short (8.3) format.

I don't know if anyone has wrapped these in Euphoria yet,
but I imagine it would overcome the problem.
