I thought I read somewhere that the later versions of OS 9 (9.1-9.22) were adapted to 'support long filenames for better compatability with OS X', I can't find it now.
I have never been able to get OS 9+ to use anything but standard 32 character filenames. Is there something I am missing?
A particularly annoying problem is transfering files from PC -> Mac or Mac -> PC. I mainly do this with MP3s over our home network. The file names longer than 32 characters are truncated with strange characters and the file extensions are never in tact. Is there a solution for this?
I use Dave, TransMac, PC MacLAN (all old versions for OS 9 and no longer supported) and Web Sharing but nothing seems to handle this correctly.
