Problem: word6.0 does not see mangled Names if running on WinNT
Hallo, after an upgrade from samba 1.9.16p11 to samba 1.9.18p10 long filenames and directorynames are no more listed as mangled names in the open file box of word6.0 or excel. (File->Open) The problem exists only when word6 or Excel (or probably any other Application of MSOffice 4.2/4.3) is running on Windows NT 4.0 or 3.51 and I try to open a document via the file->open listbox. If I open the word6->file->open listbox in word6 running on Windows95, then all mangled names are listed. I can also see all the mangled names if I list the files in the old "filemanager" on Windows-NT selecting the detailed view or in a dosbox with "dir /X": 06.11.98 08:21 <DIR> AAVER~BP aaverylongdirname I played also with default settings and several options but there was no positive change in the behavior concerning mangled names. I checked this behavior on samba-1.9.18p10 on Linux and on solaris 2.6 . Here an extract of the settings: preserve case = yes mangled names = yes short preserve case = no mangle case = no case sensitive = no default case = lower mangled stack = 50 Looking forward for a solution of the problem Peter -- email: ermert@snafu.de, H.-Peter Ermert, Berlin
