We are using ISODE under System V, with 14 character filename limits. As has been noted in the VAX/VMS thread, ISODE has a tendency to produce long filenames. This will cause problems on any filesystem that does not support indefinite length names. My solution was to produce a hashing routine that converts object names longer than 6 characters to the first two characters, and 4 hex digits (actually a CRC-16 over the object name). As an example IMPORT objects FROM InformationFramework inserts #include "Inb8cb-types.h" into the types.h file, and similarly for generated files. I intend to post the relevant patches when I am satisfied with the changes. Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, how did you solve it? -- Peter Jeremy (VK2PJ) peter@stca77.stc.oz Alcatel STC Australia ...!uunet!stca77.stc.oz!peter 41 Mandible St peter%stca77.stc.oz@uunet.UU.NET ALEXANDRIA NSW 2015
