Windows NT PIF Editor Can't Save Long Filenames

ID: Q102370

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.1, 3.51, 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.1, 3.51, 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

Windows NT PIF Editor can't save long filenames or use names with spaces.

CAUSE

PIF Editor is a 32-bit application and should therefore be able to deal with long filenames or a space in a filename. However, since PIF Editor is dedicated to Virtual DOS Machine (VDM) support, it is limited (by design) to the eight-character filename, three character extension (8.3) convention.
