Does Executor support long filenames on VFAT drives under Win95? I would
think that the filenames used by Mac files would map well to the Win95 ones,
and this would simplify things quite a bit for me.
Executor seems to work well for me so far. If I have any major problems I'll
be sure to mention them.

Heres the problem. The VFAT file system is superior to the Macintosh file system. We, with Windows 95 have the 8.3 replaced with 250.5. Now, here is the problem, Macs have 32.4.4! What if you have a longer file name? It will have to shrink. Now, I agree that there should be support for the VFAT system (And beleive a Win95 GUI version of Executor 2.0 or 2.1 should be released). Also, it should then also allow use of the desktop. Now, as most people know, the Windows 95 desktop is stored in two places:
Single User System:
\Windows\Desktop
MultiUser System:
\Windows\Profiles\user\Desktop
Now, Executor should ask which acount you wish to use, and load the desktop. Thatway, you can navigate it as if it were you're Windows 95 system (And sort of like a mac) For example, you could browse the File Open and Save As dialog boxes as a Mac would running System 7!
I think this would be a very usefull feature for copying and storing files.
