      Hello Deon!              17 Sep 18 00:03, you wrote to me:               DG> So this was bugging me - so I made a quick workaround.              I am testing a fix for this problem now. I also am allowing it to handle        incoming .TICs with long filenames (over 8 characters for the filename        portion.) Mystic creates these when hatching a file with a long filename.               DG> I know if the standard is that a tic file needs to be 12 chars in        DG> length (I think it would be good if it was - but I'm not sure that        DG> that is the standard), then it would be good if on a node by node (or        DG> global config?) that you can "override" the standard. "Allow Non        DG> Standard TIC [YES|NO]"              The intention when the standard was written was to specify a DOS compatible        8.3 filename for .TIC files. At the time, all known implementations did it        that way.               DG> What do you think?              I don't see the need to enable or disable this on a per-node basis. Since        MBSE will never create these non-compliant .TIC files, it just needs to handle        them properly when receiving them.              Andrew              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219)    |
