- Angus,
-
- You did not say what you're network is. We had a comparable problem
- awhile ago trying to run Dialog OnDisc products on our OS/2 - LanMan
- network. Diaolog's products also have both Mac and Dos software, and
- I believe that they just used a single long file name. While DOS
- *would* truncate it and run it fine, OS/2 would read the complete file
- name which would not make sense to it. Dialog graciously started
- appending as file to all their OnDisc products so they would recognize
- if OS/2 was running, and automatically truncate the file name. If you
- *are* running OS/2 on your net, about the only way that you will be
- able to successfully run the Times CD, is by getting them to make a
- comparable change.
-
- Good Luck!
