[comp.sys.mac] Trailing blanks in filenames

taylor@cernvax.UUCP (taylor) (08/23/88)

Our secretariat processes large numbers of Macintosh mail files by
Fortran applications.  Occasionally the filenames contain trailing
blanks.  Since Fortran truncates such names, it fails to open these
files.  Can anyone suggest a patch to make the Macintosh refuse to
accept filenames with trailing (or leading) blanks?
