[comp.lang.icon] shortening long filenames

goer%sophist@GARGOYLE.UCHICAGO.EDU (Richard Goerwitz) (01/21/91)

	I read in one of the technical reports that there was a program
	written in icon that read a tar file, checked if the names were
	longer than 15 characters, if so, shortened them. 

I wrote such a utility nearly a year ago, and have posted several
versions of it to this newsgroup.  I have been getting enough sporadic
requests for it that I've decided to post it to alt.sources.  Anyone
who is unable to look it up there can write to me directly, and I'll
happily send them a copy.

Gotta send me bug reports and comments, though!
