subject: Warp 2 no longer accepts long file name DLL`s

Frank Andress called me today to state that the behavior I have observed
regarding Warp 2 no longer accepting long file name DLL's is not a bug but
is in fact a fix to a bug.  Apparently previous versions of OS/2 would
accept long names but would only check the first 8 characters of the DLL
name.  Thus if two DLL's had names with the identical first 8 characters
but different characters after the first 8, there would be problems.  The
fix results in names longer than 8 characters (plus the DLL suffix) no
longer being accepted.
