LI>>    John, with DOS 8.3 filenames, it is not a total of 8 letters,
LI>> including the extension, like you implied. It is a total of 8 letters
LI>> for the filename and a total of 3 letters for the extension.

LI>In PC LightWave there is no option for choosing the numbered digits as an
LI>extension. So if you have a name that is ""flying", LightWave will make
LI>it "flying001", etc. This is longer than 8.3 and will not save on a DOS
LI>drive that can only take an 8.3 filename (such as a drive connected thru
LI>Novell Netware). Note that LW may make it "flying001.iff" if you choose
LI>that as your output filename format (name001.xxx). If you wish the
LI>numbers to be the extension, you have to name it "flying.", Which is a
LI>bit tricky under NT or Win(non95). You have to place three periods at the
LI>end of the name before Windows will recognize it as a separate character...

V> Can't you just call the file "F" then you'd get f001 up to f9999999
   that should take care or *most* anim work!!! ;)
